This article - the first in a series of four - will illuminate the new product development challenge, giving you a deep understanding of what makes it so difficult.

Lindsay Doyle's lube emulsion and her customer's acrylic dispersion both crashed and separated like curdled milk. What had caused both systems to crash, and how were the causes related?

Ensuring cleanliness in a paint shop requires a considerably more complex approach than most traditional cleaning methods.

A new and novel material, method and apparatus are presented incorporating cationic UV energy-cured coatings as OPVs upon paper, packaging and/or woven textiles without limitation for cosmetic and/or functional use.

The Corrosion Inspector was designed to produce a fast and objective evaluation of filiform and other corrosion phenomena by digital analysis of coated test plates.

With CUI and corrosion a perennial problem for oil and gas facilities with massive carbon steel structures, utilizing CBPC coatings that can control corrosion for decades and reduce downtime will only help the bottom line.

Successful incorporation of nanomaterials into optical display coatings relies on the core expertise of engineering finely tuned nanoparticles, dispersal in a variety of solvents and scaling these processes to commercial volumes.

Because of the increased accuracy of data, measurements from spectrophotometers can be compared against standards, without the need to conduct parallel tests, effectively saving time and money in the process.

This technique provides the analyst with a "method map" for performing failure, material characterization and deformulation analyses.

This new heating technique is achieved by using a transverse conveyance system in which the car bodies are processed sideways through heating zones, which allows for large convection nozzles to be positioned to direct heated air through the windshield opening of the car into the inner cabin areas as well as directly into the engine compartment areas.
