In this work, silver-free, low-temperature-curing epoxy powder coatings with antimicrobial functionality were developed. The cationic biopolymer ε-polylysine (PLY) in its protonated form, as well as ...

[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 ...

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 ...

A cost-effective and multifunctional filler for paints and coatings could be obtained from chicken feathers in the future: keratin. Researchers at two Fraunhofer Institutes have achieved promising ...

This appendix reviews various coating process technologies: diffusion coating, thermal spray (particulate deposition), physical vapor deposition (atomistic or molecular transfer), and sputtering ...

Most of our clothing contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers, a common form of plastic. Recouping PET fibers from discarded clothing, however, can be costly and toxic, often releasing forever ...

Coatings are everywhere. A thin protective layer, often barely visible. They keep out moisture, sunlight and rust, helping ...

The eyes of moths have a biological nanostructure that grants them anti-reflective properties. Though researchers have managed to mimic this structure to produce anti-reflective coatings, current ...
