Tech Etch has designed and developed a robotic spray-coating process used to apply conductive carbon and graphite coatings to battery current collectors, fuel cells, thin-metal cathode grids used in implantable pacemaker batteries, and other energy storage devices that require low-resistance coatings.
In order to slow down the erosion of the base metal and help to extend battery life, one company has designed and developed a robotic spray coating process used to apply conductive carbon and graphite coatings to battery current collectors, fuel cells, thin-metal cathode grids used in implantable pacemaker batteries, and other energy storage devices that require low-resistance coatings.
As the aerospace (AS) industry pushes for next-generation surface coating technologies to protect materials exposed to harsh air and space environments, coatings manufacturers dive deep to provide higher-performing coatings. The addition of additives to both existing and emerging technologies provides coating manufacturers with a path to innovate for these modern and changing times.
Sun Chemical, Parsippany, New Jersey, and its parent company, DIC Corp., have acquired Gwent Electronic Materials Ltd., a UK-based manufacturer of conductive inks, pastes and powders for the printed electronic market.
Screen-printable, pad-printable and stencil-printable silver conductive inks and coatings are suitable for applications requiring subsequent plating operations.
Scientists in Korea have developed wearable, graphene-coated fabrics that can detect dangerous gases present in the air, alerting the wearer by turning on an LED light.
