Graphene is a material that is at the forefront of many new technologies. It has a very high aspect ratio with respect to other inorganic barrier fillers, and is envisioned to be the next generation of barrier additives.
The comeback story of a very special bird inspired AkzoNobel, Azul Airlines and Embraer to create the most colorful airplane in South America – the "Blue Macaw" Embraer 195 E2.
The post-addition of different grades of fibrillated HDPE fiber has shown to positively affect film formation, tensile properties and wet track abrasion resistance of a commercially available asphalt emulsion driveway sealer/coating.
This article provides an overview of the classes of self-healing technologies that have been developed, and their ongoing and/or potential uses in the design of coating systems.
Anti-microbial (anti-viral and bactericidal) NANOVA HYGIENE+™ reduces the risk of microbial contamination virtually for all surfaces, including metal, glass, wood, fabrics and plastics by the principle of repelling microbes, offering a non-stick surface to pathogens and self-sanitizing for 90 days.
In the shipbuilding industry, repairs are a constant and inevitable fact of marine life, resulting in costly downtime and loss of earnings. This article explains how shipyards can put key technologies in the dock which offer speed, portability and efficiency.
The challenge presented to the engineers and scientists was to develop and demonstrate a coating that exhibits durable anti-ice performance, and satisfactory wear and erosion resistance. More importantly, it needed to be practical for retrofitting in-service aircraft as well as be used by OEMs.
Graphite Innovation and Technologies Inc. has developed an environmentally friendly, hard foul-release coating that can be easily cleaned and does not require the application of primer underlayers.
Antimicrobial coatings are used widely to protect surfaces and humans too. Get to know all the details with this guide of antimicrobial coatings, from the materials used, to benefits and risks.
