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, ...

Experiments were performed at the SPring-8 Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Japan. Tracheas were excised from rats and placed into a modified humidified tissue chamber that positioned the trachea in ...

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 ...

Micro-scale inorganic particles (d > 1 µm) have reduced surface area and higher density, making them negatively buoyant in most dip-coating mixtures. Their controlled delivery in hard-to-reach places ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

The structure of the new nanomaterial was designed to mimic the surface of rose petals, which cause water to bead up into droplets. Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a new ...

If you've ever spilled a drop of coffee on a surface, you might have noticed the curious way the color concentrates at the edges when the coffee dries. This is known as the "coffee ring effect," and ...
