Smart card, passport and e-ID manufacturers will be able to integrate next level security features using a patented UV laser-technology thanks to the new LEXAN SD film overlay, a polycarbonate (PC) based material from SABIC, launched at the Cartes Secure Connexions trade show in Paris.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT have developed a novel, cost-effective coating technique using micro-scaled conjoined hollow aluminium oxide spheres to protect components against heat and oxidation. Steam and gas turbines, reactors, temperature sensors, waste incinerator generators and combustion chambers are subjected to temperatures as high as 1000°C, and the new coating technology will benefit in these applications.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP (Fraunhofer FEP) have developed an innovative process for cost-effective production of piezoelectric materials for micro-energy harvesting applications. Developments in many applications require energy self-sufficient probes and miniature mobile electronics systems that acquire the energy they need from the surrounding environment.
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed a new method for the fast manufacturing of electrode foils which enables the production of lithium-ion batteries at lower costs. The new technology increases the production speed of electrode foils by a factor of three.
A specialist fire resistance coating has been approved for use with concrete structures, offering important advances in safety and time of construction projects.
Specifically developed by Sherwin-Williams to allow eas...
An innovative surface coating has been developed for medical implants using FDA-approved materials by a Harvard research team. This new solution has the potential to address bacterial infection and blood clotting, which are the two major problems currently faced by medical devices.
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST in Braunschweig, Germany, created the Megatron sputtering system that can produce a completely new range of coatings with better surface quality.
Harvard University researchers have explained a new method of applying ultra-thin coatings over a coarse surface based on the optical phenomena - thin-film interference. This work is considered to be a promising technology for future applications including next-generation spacecrafts with thin decorative logos, rocket ships, advanced solar cells, and flexible electronic devices. The work is published in Applied Physics Letters journal.
Scientists at Rice University lab have modified graphene nanoribbon deicing film designed for radar domes to now suit applications on glass. This technology may help keep glass surfaces of automobile windshields, large buildings and other similar applications, free from ice formation, while remaining transparent to radio frequencies.
Researchers at the Center for Research in Advanced Materials (Cimav) in Moneterrey have developed a nanostructured coating for aircraft turbines which can withstand temperatures greater than 1000°C.
