Superhydrophobic materials—often called “never-wet” surfaces—are famous for making water bead up and roll away. They are used ...

While reverse osmosis is a relatively energy-efficient form of seawater desalination, it is nonetheless made less efficient by a problem known as biofouling. A new membrane coating, however, could ...

Dip coating, a ubiquitous process in modern materials science and engineering, involves immersing a solid substrate into a liquid and then withdrawing it at a controlled speed to form a coherent film.

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 ...

Surface coatings, which provide both protection and functionality, have long been important in a variety of industries. Liquid-infused surfaces (LIS) have been a ground-breaking technology that has ...

You can trace these and other powder coating problems back to one issue: parts hanging. Getting it wrong can make powder coating an excessive, unpredictable constraint. Getting it right can relieve ...

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 ...
