Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are characterized by their high wear, abrasion, and corrosion resistance. This article discusses DLC coatings types, mechanical properties, coefficient of friction, surface properties, electrical properties, corrosion resistance properties, and uses.
According to the report, the global carbon nanotubes (CNT) market has experienced renewed growth recently, driven by demand for conductive materials for lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and other energy storage applications, with many producers greatly increasing production capacities.
Japanese company Daikin Industries has become a shareholder of OCSiAl, a producer of graphene nanotubes, following three years of collaboration in developing graphene nanotube applications as a next-generation additive.
Dymax® Oligomers and Coatings, a division of Dymax, has joined forces with Arizona company Mechnano to develop UV-curable dispersions and masterbatches of Mechnano's discrete, functionalized carbon nanotube for UV applications.
ChemSpec North America has recently entered into a distribution agreement with Belgium-based Nanocyl SA to promote and distribute Nanocyl's various multi-wall carbon nanotube products.
OCSiAl is now able to commercialize up to 100 tonnes annually of its TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes in Europe as the company has upgraded its dossier under the EU’s REACH legislation and is now additionally compliant with the new Annexes on nanoforms.
Carbon black supplier Birla Carbon and CHASM Advanced Materials Inc. are joining forces to accelerate the discovery and development of novel nanomaterials to benefit various market segments, including novel coatings.
Manufacturers of storage tanks and antistatic lining coatings can gain a competitive edge by switching to graphene nanotube-based concentrates for their products. Uniform, permanent and stable resistivity ensures enhanced safety at their clients’ highly hazardous plants and reduces the cost of lining coatings.
