A two-step surface treatment combining ascorbic acid with a polymer shell keeps niobium carbide MXene nanosheets stable and ...

In many parts of the world – particularly developing nations, where air conditioning isn't practical or affordable – people paint buildings' roofs white in order to reflect sunlight and thus keep ...

A new coating, however, has been created to keep that from happening. Designed to be applied to the surface of titanium prostheses, the polymer coating incorporates a fragment of a protein known as ...

Medical implants often carry surface substrates that release active substances or to which biomolecules or cells can adhere better. However, degradable gas-phase coatings for degradable implants, such ...

Keeping our homes and offices at a comfortable temperature plays an important role in our modern lives. At present, this is usually achieved by using conventional air-conditioning units that have some ...

The latest and largest trial to compare durable-polymer versus biodegradable-polymer stents—this time in the setting of acute coronary syndromes—should convince the field once and for all that a ...

Since the 1950s, scientists have worked around this problem by coating samples with a thin layer of gold before imaging. While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries ...

Scientists have developed a new bio-synthetic coating for electronic components that could help merge AI with the human brain. They believe the polymer could overcome a fundamental challenge around ...

Researchers at multiple universities are developing transparent conductive coatings and sensing technologies that could ...

Advanced Polymer Coatings, based in Avon, has completed a tanker recoating contract for Spanish headquartered shipping line Marflet Marine. Advanced Polymer Coatings has applied its industry-leading ...

Engineers have invented a high-performance exterior PDRC polymer coating with nano-to-microscale air voids that acts as a spontaneous air cooler and can be fabricated, dyed, and applied like paint on ...
