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.

New conductive gelcoats with graphene nanotubes as a protecting layer on top of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) grant engineers and designers the ability to produce special surfaces and uniformly ...
