[Breaking Taps] has a look at “parkerization” — a process to coat steel to prevent rust. While you commonly see this finish in firearms, it is usable anywhere you need some protection for steel parts.

[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 ...

Hydrogen boride (HB) nanosheets can inactivate viruses, bacteria, and fungi within minutes in the dark conditions. By coating surfaces with HB nanosheets, it rapidly inactivates SARS-CoV-2, influenza ...

The Powder Coatings Market is witnessing steady growth, driven by rising demand for durable, eco-friendly coating solutions across automotive, construction, appliances, and industrial applications.

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 ...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings occupy a distinctive position in modern surface engineering. By combining extreme hardness, low friction, high wear ...

Think of a metal with paint on it, like an automobile or a pipeline carrying natural gas. The paint or polymer coating protects the metal underneath from degrading. Although the coating should ideally ...

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 ...
