Co-Ni/SiC nanocomposite coatings were obtained by codeposition of SiC nanoparticles in a bath with nickel and cobalt, using API 5L X80 as the substrate. The influence of cathodic current density on ...

Abstract: Nano TiO2 hydrophilic self-cleaning coatings have been widely researched and developed in recent years, which can significantly degrade various organic and inorganic contaminants adhered to ...

An international group of scientists investigated the use of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) as an anti-reflection coating for polycrystalline silicon solar cells. “The primary ...

The corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties of fixed orthodontic devices are insufficient in the complex oral cavity, which delays tooth movement and causes enamel demineralization. To ...

ABSTRACT: A new anatase/SiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized by sol-gel method at room temperature using titanium tetrachloride and tetraethylorthosilicate as raw materials. Characterization of the ...

In a bid to improve the gas barrier properties of recyclable, compostable and sustainably sourced packaging material, researchers from Mae Fah Luang University, Thailand, and Queen Mary University of ...

Biking or walking on a hot day can make you feel like you’re in an oven because dark pavement absorbs and retains heat. But applying a special coating to streets and bike paths could help cool them ...

Due to the inherent hydrophilic nature and porosity of the paper fibers, hydrophobic polymeric materials, waxes, and inorganic fillers have been widely utilized as coatings and fillers, respectively, ...
