An Anti-reflective and Anti-Soiling Coating for Photovoltaic Panels

Xu Q.F., Zhao Y., Kujan B., Lyons A., ARL Designs LLC, US

Photovoltaic panels face two major challenges in maximizing and maintaining their electrical output – reflections and soiling of the outer glass surface. To address these challenges, we developed a durable, transparent high-performance polymeric coating on [...]

Superhydrophobic Thermoset Elastomers with Excellent Stability to Rain Erosion and Water Immersion

Kujan E., Farshchian B., Xu Q., Feldman M., Lyons A., ARL Designs LLC, US

Polymeric materials with superhydrophobic surfaces are advantageous for industrial applications such as electrical insulators, roof membranes and seals because their surfaces are self-cleaning and remain dry when exposed to rain. However most superhydrophobic surfaces are [...]
