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.
Independent of industry, the protective nanocoatings marketplace growth potential is considerable, as protecting electronics becomes increasingly challenging as devices shrink.
When it comes to tackling reinforcement surface prep and ongoing protection, this rust primer stands out among competitor materials with clear performance and application advantages to mitigate rebar corrosion.
This article studies the effects of weathering on the topcoats and focuses on a commonly used acrylic topcoat that offers a balance of properties such as chemical resistance, condensation resistance, gloss retention and other mechanical properties.
Products from the Sansin Corporation and Western Archrib are showcased on the stunning track and field facility, Hayward Field, at the University of Oregon in Eugene.
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 order to reduce the structure-borne noise of the rail carriages and create the quietest-possible environment inside, many rolling stock manufacturers use sound deadening. The metal sheets used in the interior construction of carriages – for cladding for example – are covered in sound-deadening materials to dampen the noise caused by the metal sheets.
