Manufacturers of storage tanks and antistatic lining coatings can gain a competitive edge by switching to graphene nanotube-based concentrates for their products. Uniform, permanent and stable resistivity ensures enhanced safety at their clients’ highly hazardous plants and reduces the cost of lining coatings.
As new tools and technologies are developed, surface scientists will continue to innovate and create new formulations to meet the needs of those new developments.
The aim of this study was to design hydrophobic or super hydrophobic coatings based on sol-gel chemistry by incorporating hydrophobic moieties and controlling surface morphology.
The improvement in coating performance comes in part from the presence of the hardwearing nanodiamond particles integrated into the polymers, but there is also a change in the overall structure of the coating.
