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, ...

The precise control of tiny droplets on surfaces is essential for advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and next‐generation lab‐on‐a‐chip diagnostics. However, once droplet volume reaches pico- and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Surface modification of micro-nanoparticles at the atomic and close-to-atomic scales is of great importance to their applications in a variety of fields, such as energy storage, catalysis, sensors, ...

Ultra-fine aluminum hydroxide for coatings is an inorganic functional material in which aluminum hydroxide is controlled into fine particles ranging from sub-micron to several microns. It is used in ...

An international team of researchers used liquid gallium to create an antiviral and antimicrobial coating and tested it on a range of fabrics, including facemasks. The coating adhered more strongly to ...

A novel study demonstrates that droplets at a miniscule level can be precisely controlled, opening new avenues in micro-scale systems. (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the Research Center for Materials ...
