DTU researchers have developed an important coating for underwater drones and solar cell platforms. The coating will not adorn the drones in different colors, but rather act as a self-polishing layer ...
Researchers have developed a quick and easy way to turn the wood-based bioproduct lignin into nanoparticles that can create a transparent coating with anti-fog properties or a colorful antireflective ...
[Pete] had a friend who would powder coat metal parts for him, but when he needed 16 metal parts coated, he decided he needed to develop a way to do it himself. Some research turned up the fluid bed ...
Researchers have developed a PFAS-free dual-layer sol-gel and hydrophobic silica coating that repels water, dust, and dirt while maintaining high light transmission for solar panels. The transparent, ...
Once it dries, it forms a tough, transparent coating which is claimed to be highly effective at killing bacteria and viruses. Some of the tea tree and cinnamon molecules are cross-linked to the ...
Cooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption. Conventional clear windows allow the sun to heat up interior spaces, which energy-guzzling air-conditioners must then cool down. But ...
A new transparent deicing coating that can also clean itself could be a boon for solar panels, windows, and windshields (Adv. Mater. 2021, DOI: 10.1002/adma.202108232). Solar-heating materials are the ...
Hydrogen boride (HB) nanosheets can inactivate viruses, bacteria, and fungi within minutes in the dark conditions. By coating surfaces with HB nanosheets, it rapidly inactivates SARS-CoV-2, influenza ...
NEWARK, DE / ACCESSWIRE / September 2, 2024 / The global transparent coatings market is poised for remarkable growth, with market value expected to more than double over the next decade. Valued at USD ...
An ultrathin MXene film absorbs invisible solar wavelengths to generate heat while staying transparent, enabling passive anti-fogging and de-icing on glass surfaces. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Sunlight ...
Scientists have devised a transparent coating for windows that could help cool the room, use no energy and preserve the view. Cooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption.
You may be curious about colors and outcomes, but it’s all just gibberish if you don’t know what powder coating is. So, let’s start at the beginning. What is powder coating? Powder coating is a dry ...
