When you reach the end of a ketchup bottle, there is always some that is left stuck to the sides. Researchers from Colorado State University lab have found a solution to this issue by developing a nonstick, nontoxic coating that allows every last drop to come loose.
Time and time again, bridges and overpasses ultimately begin to deteriorate from corrosion of embedded reinforcing metal. This can be the result of simple carbonation as air exposure lowers concrete pH and destroys the natural protective layer that exists on freshly embedded rebar; or it can be caused by harsh humid, salt spray, polluted, or snowy environments that persistently attack the integrity of the concrete structure
Axalta Coating Systems, a leading global manufacturer of liquid and powder coatings, is working with automotive manufacturers in their quest to make vehicles lighter in order to reduce emissions and fuel consumption by replacing standard steel with composites such as carbon fiber.
Researchers from Penn State University have highlighted that at some point in the future chemically protective suits made from fabric coated in self-healing, thin films may be capable of preventing soldiers from biological or chemical attacks in the field, factory workers from accidental discharge of toxic materials and farmers from exposure to organophosphate pesticides.
One of the ways to prevent food waste and food-borne illness is to ensure that surfaces of production units are free from contamination even between scheduled cleanings.
Automative body paint jobs have been given a huge boost from the rapidly emerging field of terahertz (THz) technology used to improve the precision and quality control of layered paint coatings.
Although the modern day office buildings and high-rises with wide glass façades could be aesthetically very pleasing, they can really cost a lot. The glass façades allow in visible light along with infrared light that can raise the temperatures of the buildings and ultimately lead to more air-conditioning use as well as higher energy consumption levels in extreme hot and desert climates like the UAE.
Today’s manufacturers face a great challenge in developing varnishes and wall paints, and one of the reasons could be that the samples of paints just allow them to assess the behavior of dispersion in the reaction container.
One of the hardest and highly heat-resistant substances on Earth is boride. However, just like many materials, this also oxidizes when exposed to high temperatures.
Despite the rigors of scientific analysis and the systematic approaches of the most talented researchers of the world, science still surprises us at times.
