Fraunhofer Researchers to Launch New Antireflective Coating at K Trade Fair in Düsseldorf

It is possible to manufacture transparent plastic optical lenses in different shapes in a cost-effective manner, although there is a disadvantage as they reflect light just as much as glass. Fraunhofer researchers will be launching a new type of antireflective coating at the K trade fair in Düsseldorf.

Cortec’s Innovative Migrating Corrosion Inhibitors Can Protect Existing Bridges from Corrosion

Time and time again, bridges and overpasses ultimately begin to deteriorate from corrosion of embedded reinforcing metal. This can be the result of simple carbonation as air exposure lowers concrete pH and destroys the natural protective layer that exists on freshly embedded rebar; or it can be caused by harsh humid, salt spray, polluted, or snowy environments that persistently attack the integrity of the concrete structure
