Nanoemulsions find applications across industries, with several pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications in the market. Delphi Scientific, LLC has developed a methodology to improve large scale nanoemulsion manufacturing by addressing key issues such as high energy [...]

c-VACNT™ enabled Fluid Reactor Innovations

Strobl K., Gainey S., Kumar A., Kumar A., CVD Equipment Corporation, US

We have developed a novel, patent-pending, fluid reactor system that is targeted for (1) imporoved Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) devices utilized in heart- lung machines by enabling i) their use for an extended duration ii) [...]

Accelerated Neutral Atom Beam (ANAB) Technology for Nanoscale Surface Processing

Kirkpatrick S., Walsh M., Khoury J., Shashkov D., Exogenesis Corporation, US

We use Accelerated Neutral Atom Beam (ANAB) technology to impart beneficial functionality on metal, ceramic, glass, and polymer surfaces without detrimental impacts of traditional plasma and ion beam technologies. ANAB provides an intense, collimated beam [...]

Determining the Quality of Asphalt Emulsions by Size and Zeta Potential

Ragheb R., Park K., Nobbmann U., Casola J., Malvern Panalytical, US

Asphalt binder emulsions have proven to be an environmentally friendly, energy efficient, and cost-effective alternative to hot asphalt binder mixtures [1]. They are typically used for roadway resurfacing where they are employed as an adhesive [...]

A Novel, Clear Fire Retardant Waterborne Coating System for Wood Substrates

Hughes J., Wang M., Zhang L., Armstrong World Industries, US

Clear intumescent coatings were developed to allow for presentation of the natural wood visual, but have struggled to achieve an acceptable E84 Class A rating, while also having a plastic-type look to the visual. Many [...]

AWI High Performance Powder Coating TrioGuard

Masia S.L., Wang M.X., Armstrong World Industries, US

Many business segments such as transportation, healthcare, office, and building interior need the product surface not to accumulate the dirt / dust and the product performance longevity to provide end users with better working, living [...]

Solution Grown Nanostructured Ceramic Coatings for Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Surface

Tao T., Cho J., Binghamton University, US

Ceramics coatings have received great attention for use as a functional surface, as well as a protective and barrier coating. We report a low-temperature hydrothermal processing of nanostructured ceramic coatings that enable their surface to [...]
