Researchers from the Institute for Color Science and Technology (ICST) in Iran are working to improve the quality of anti-corrosive coatings by using modified nanoparticles.
A group of specialists from the Center for Research in Advanced Materials (Cimav) in Mexico have developed nanostructured coatings capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 1000 °C, which are used in aviation turbine components.
Researchers at the University of Tehran used starch nanocatalysts to produce a coating for the protection and enrichment of food products in factories. Made of cheap starch, the coating is resistant to acidic media and can be used in the foodstuff and medical industries.
Iranian researchers from Sharif University of Technology, in association with researchers from Laser and Optic Research Center, have produced a crack-free ceramic coating using nanotechnology.
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) have received $183,946 from the Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) to develop and test nanostructured coatings that would increase the durability of hard-to-reach industrial and medical components.
Battelle scientists have developed a tiny bead, the Battelle Smart Corrosion Detector™ bead, that not only detects corrosion but delivers a payload to help heal the microscopic cracks that rust creates.
NANOMYTE® TC?5001, a nanotechnology-enabled, single-component, clear coating from NEI Corp., is designed to protect zinc?plated and galvanized steel surfaces from rusting under severe environmental and operating conditions.
Researchers at University West in Sweden have started using nanoparticles in the heat-insulating surface layer that protects aircraft engines from heat.
Ribbons of ultrathin graphene combined with polyurethane paint meant for cars is just right for deicing sensitive military radar domes, according to scientists at Rice University.
Materials engineering and metallurgic researchers of the University of Tehran have succeeded in the creation of a dense nanostructured coating made of titania by combining sol-gel and electrophoresis methods.
