Conservators use polymer coatings to preserve iron artifacts by keeping out moisture and oxygen to prevent corrosion. But a recent study suggests that as they age, such coatings may trigger a cycle of ...

Polysaccharide and protein-based coatings on metallic implants increase bone tendency to attach on implants, prevent loosening and bacterial invasion WASHINGTON, April 27, 2021 -- Traffic accidents, ...

“My team develops automotive coating technologies for the paint that a body shop uses to repair a damaged car or customize a ride,” says Candice Pelligra. Cars typically have between four and six ...

Advanced Polymer Coatings (APC) has been chosen to provide its MarineLINE coating for up to six new vessels being built for Champion Tankers. The deal will see APC’s MarineLINE coating system ...

Organic chemists have developed a process that allows them to turn biomass into a high-quality coating using light, oxygen and UV light. This process combines a renewable source with green chemistry ...

Keeping our homes and offices at a comfortable temperature plays an important role in our modern lives. At present, this is usually achieved by using conventional air-conditioning units that have some ...

Traffic accidents, tumor resections, and congenital diseases can cause significant trauma, which can lead to large bone deformations and/or bone loss. Although bone has some capacity to regenerate, ...

Polymeric coatings designed for corrosion protection are usually tougher and are applied in heavier films than are appearance coatings. Requirements of such coatings are much more stringent: They must ...

Polymer chemistry is central to the development of new technologies and substances. Materials based upon natural and synthetic organic macromolecules, polymers, and hybrid derivatives have enormous ...

Researchers have found a way to reduce organ rejection following a transplant by using a special polymer to coat blood vessels on the organ to be transplanted. The polymer, developed by UBC medicine ...
