Corrosion causes costs of about 3–4% of each country’s gross domestic product. The corrosion damage in 2013 is estimated to be in the magnitude of US$ 2.5 trillion globally 1,2. Due to the climate ...

Commercial coatings are undergoing a fundamental shift as LEED v4.1, BREEAM, and WELL tighten VOC limits. Explore how manufacturers and specifiers are meeting stricter green building standards with ...

While many groups have been developing coatings that allow fabric to be waterproof yet breathable, most of those solutions have incorporated toxic chemicals. Now, however, scientists are getting good ...

Devices that can flex and stretch, including wearable electronics, roll-up solar cells, and foldable displays, are all the rage these days. Engineers design those devices to keep working, bend after ...

Organic chemists from the University of Groningen and the Dutch multinational company AkzoNobel, a major global producer of paints and coatings, developed a process that allows them to turn biomass ...

You may be curious about colors and outcomes, but it’s all just gibberish if you don’t know what powder coating is. So, let’s start at the beginning. What is powder coating? Powder coating is a dry ...

In this work, silver-free, low-temperature-curing epoxy powder coatings with antimicrobial functionality were developed. The cationic biopolymer ε-polylysine (PLY) in its protonated form, as well as ...

Organic chemists from the University of Groningen and the Dutch multinational company AkzoNobel, a major global producer of paints and coatings, developed a process that allows them to turn biomass ...

Organic chemists have developed a process that allows them to turn biomass into a high-quality coating using light, oxygen and UV light. This process combines a renewable source with green chemistry ...
