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.
The aim of this study was to design hydrophobic or super hydrophobic coatings based on sol-gel chemistry by incorporating hydrophobic moieties and controlling surface morphology.
The improvement in coating performance comes in part from the presence of the hardwearing nanodiamond particles integrated into the polymers, but there is also a change in the overall structure of the coating.
Alcoa and OJSC RUSNANO will produce technologically advanced oil and gas aluminum drill pipe finished with a life-extending anti-wear coating under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by the companies.
