A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coating is a material that is applied to a surface by chemical vapor deposition. This article will discuss how the coatings are made, coating benefits, and how to ...

A breakthrough in coating technology has resulted in a physical vapor deposition (PVD) aluminum oxide (Al2O3) coating for difficult-to-machine materials with the thermal resistance of traditional ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is working with multiple Pentagon components and commercial partners to produce and refine new paint-like coatings that can temporarily shield tactical military ...

Princeton researchers have developed a way to place onto surfaces special coatings that chemically "communicate" with bacteria, telling them what to do. The coatings, which could be useful in ...

Aside from improving on the performance of traditional coatings, TCS/PACS coatings also provide more environmentally friendly ...

A cross-section illustration demonstrates the bonding mechanism common in hydrophilic coatings. Hydrophilic coatings exhibit water-loving characteristics. Chemically, this means they participate in ...

Silicon is an attractive negative electrode (anode) material for future lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more energy than the graphite used today. However, silicon expands and shrinks ...
