In this work, mini-emulsion polymerization was used to prepare formulations containing various sizes of ZnO nanoparticles in order to increase photostabilization of exterior clear coatings for wood.
The work described is focused on studies demonstrating
the benefits in use of nano-particle dispersions, and extends to substrates such as wood, masonry, concrete, fiber cement, tile, floors and plaster.
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.
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.
Greater awareness of phenomena that occur on a nanometric scale and subsequent testing (both in application and synthesis of polymers) have led to the development of new materials with better performance characteristics than the traditional ones, with full respect for the environment.
WINDGO Inc., a research and development company specializing in anti-vibration technologies, was granted U.S. Patent #9,759,286, designed to provide stabilization and vibration reduction in systems such as industrial automation, railways, automotive, medical devices, and adhesive binders for roadways and roofs.
ShayoNano USA Inc., a subsidiary of ShayoNano PTE Ltd., Singapore, inaugurated its first U.S. production facility, located in the Houston suburb of Stafford, Texas.
BASF and Landa Labs announced a strategic long-term partnership in which BASF will employ Landa’s nano-pigment technology in a new portfolio of easy dispersible ultra-high transparency pigments marketed under the Colors & Effects brand.
