Forge Nano, Louisville, Colorado, recently won a 2017 R&D 100 Award as co-developer with General Motors for the development of the Ultrathin Multifunctional Hybrid Coatings and Processes.
Tesla Nanocoatings is expanding production of its Teslan® brand of nanocoatings, a corrosion-resistant coating for structural steel, produced with SMW™ specialty multi-wall carbon nanotubes developed by SouthWest NanoTechnologies (SWeNT).
Splitting water into its components, two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, is an important first step in achieving carbon-neutral fuels to power our transportation infrastructure – including automobiles and planes.
Nanocoatings are opening up new market opportunities in the global coatings arena. Properties such as corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, UV stability, gloss retention, and chemical and mechanical properties are improved significantly using nanomaterials.
