Hou F., Mardon I., Yang Z., Goode C., Cirrus Materials Science Ltd., NZ

Cirrus technology offers a low-voltage, non-toxic PEO super hydrophilic coating technology for application to light alloys. The novel surface finishing technology provides thin, adherent, and durable protection for alloys at low cost with an exceptionally [...]

Hybrid Polymeric-Ceramic Nanostructured Materials

Guillen G.R., Hoek E.M.V., Kaner R.B., Water Planet Engineering, US

UCLA professors have collaborated to develop a portfolio of IP around the synthesis of a new class of polymeric-ceramic nanostructures, coating films and membranes. As membranes, these novel materials exhibit microfiltration like productivity with nanofiltration-like [...]
