Polymeric coatings designed for corrosion protection are usually tougher and are applied in heavier films than are appearance coatings. Requirements of such coatings are much more stringent: They must ...

University of Sheffield researchers developed a machine learning framework to improve coating properties in a roll-to-roll slot die coating process. The work is seen as an initial step toward broader ...

Polymer brush films consists of monomer chains grown in close proximity on a substrate. The monomers, which look like “bristles” at the nanoscale, form a highly functional and versatile coating such ...

Nanotechnology has garnered considerable interest during the previous decade. Simultaneously, the marine sector has experienced great transformation and significant investment. This article covers the ...

For parts with lower temperature thresholds, such as composites, an ultraviolet (UV) curable powder coating can be an ideal solution. Source (All Images) | Keyland Polymer From aerospace and ...

MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...
