Silicon dioxide coatings as protective materials for stone
European Coatings

Chemists have studied the possibility of silicon dioxide coatings modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as protective materials for stone.
Intumescent coatings based on alkali-activated borosilicate inorganic polymers
European Coatings

A new paper presents results regarding the possibility of using intumescent alkali-activated borosilicate inorganic polymers (AABSIP) as passive fire protection for various substrates.
Aging of Concrete Structures and Infrastructures: Causes, Consequences, and Cures (C3)
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering

Aging of any concrete structure is a natural process, but it has become an urgent and critical problem in recent years, during which long-operating dams and nuclear power plants have begun to lose reliable life. A large number of infrastructures all over the world are over 50 years old and suffer from extensive deterioration that affects their serviceability
Silver nanoparticles as biocidal agent in polyurethane coating
European Coatings

Chemists have investigated the synthesis and application of silver nanoparticles as biocidal agent in polyurethane coating.
Design of new phenothiazine derivatives as visible light photoinitiators
European Coatings

In an actual article, four new phenothiazine derivatives are specifically in silico designed by molecular modelling for good light absorption properties @405 nm.
Functionalised nanosilica as an antimicrobial additive for waterborne paints
European Coatings

A new paper reports the use of functionalised nanosilica as a non-leaching biocide. This study indicated that NS and PNP-NS are good additives to improve the antifungal and antibacterial properties of waterborne commercial paints.
A New Method of Edge Crack Suppression in the Rolling Process of Magnesium Alloy Sheet and Study on the Method of Cathodic Protection
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering

A new method is proposed to solve edge cracking and corrosion in rolling process of the magnesium alloy plate. Usually in the process, the edge cracking is caused by the great temperature difference between the edge and the center of the alloy plate and the corrosion is by water in air.
Effects of low-melting glass powder on the thermal stabilities of low infrared emissivity Al/polysiloxane coatings
European Coatings

In a new study, low infrared emissivity coatings with good thermal stabilities were fabricated using silicone resin as adhesive, flake aluminum powder as pigment, and low-melting glass powder as functional filler.
A novel slippery surface with enhanced stability and corrosion resistance
European Coatings

A slippery liquid infused porous surface (SLIPS) was prepared by a facile spraying method with co-introduction of silica sol and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and subsequent oil infusion.
Performance properties of graphene oxide/water-borne polyurethane nanocoatings
European Coatings

The effects of graphene oxide content on performance properties of graphene oxide/water-borne polyurethane nanocoatings have been studied.
3M Coating Technology Earns Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas 2020 Honorable Mention
Coatings World

The coating is advantageous in surface temperature reduction, helps in lowering enclosure temperatures and energy conservation thereby reducing carbon footprint. This technology has multiple applications over various surfaces including dual protection from corrosion and heat when applied as a recommended coating system.
A gloomy outlook for anticorrosive coatings
European Coatings

Urgently needed but faltering infrastructure projects are having a negative impact on the market for corrosion protection coating materials in Europe.
Preparation of water-borne non-fluorinated anti-smudge surfaces and their applications
European Coatings

A novel liquid-repellent surface system has been developed and the dewetting behavior of various liquids on this coating surface has been investigated.
Molecular simulations and understanding of antifouling zwitterionic polymer brushes
European Coatings

A recent work provides some structural insights into the design of new antifouling materials beyond traditional PEG-based antifouling materials.
