Spin coating is a widely used technique for depositing thin, uniform films onto flat substrates. It involves the application of a liquid material onto a rotating substrate, which spreads the material ...

Plasma polymerization is a versatile technique that utilises plasma discharges to deposit ultra‐thin polymer films on various substrates. This method enables the synthesis of coatings with tailored ...

Materials that simultaneously have contrasting properties—for example, they are soft on the one hand and hard on the other, with a gradual transition between the two properties—could enable completely ...

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / December 8, 2020 / According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global thin film coating market looks promising with opportunities in ...

(Nanowerk News) A durable copper-based coating developed by Dartmouth College researchers can be precisely integrated into fabric to create responsive and reusable materials such as protective ...

Materials that simultaneously have contrasting properties—for example, they are soft on the one hand and hard on the other, with a gradual transition between the two properties—could enable completely ...

For telescopes operating in the vacuum of space, or optical equipment in extreme environments, existing coatings are often insufficient. Researchers have turned to atomic layer deposition and ...

Scientists from the Madison Area Technical College in the United States have tested superhydrophobic self-cleaning, anti-soiling coatings that, if applied to photovoltaic modules, can purportedly ...
