Powder coating is now preferred over liquid coating and has also been extensively employed in numerous industries due to its negligible VOC (volatile organic compound) emission, high solid content, ...

Powder coatings, substances that are decorative, protective, or both, are developed by applying a coating powder to a substrate and then fusing the coating into a continuous film by applying heat or ...

The fluid-handling bioprocessing surfaces that successfully repel microliter droplets aren’t as effective for nano- and picoliter droplets. Because those smaller droplets are more sensitive to ...

A steel mesh that lets water through but collects and holds oil - courtesy of a coating of nanoparticles - could clean up oil spills quickly and inexpensively, U.S. researchers suggest. Engineers at ...

Panel a: Many model simulations were made by changing particle sizes at emissions (e.g., 'Small size' and 'Large size'). The 'Detailed method' can simulate various coating states of BC particles (pure ...

The structure of the new nanomaterial was designed to mimic the surface of rose petals, which cause water to bead up into droplets. Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a new ...

A novel study demonstrates that droplets at a microscale level can be precisely controlled, opening new avenues in micro-scale systems Researchers from the Research Center for Materials ...

Not many people would voluntarily fly through plumes of smoke emitted from wildfires. But atmospheric scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory do, over and over, ...
