Novel Low-energy Super hydrophilic Alloy Coatings

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 [...]

Wear-resistant coatings for solar cell panels

Song K., Arizona State University, US

This research studied the relationship between nano-particle orientation and wear resistance. Nano-particle orientations were tailored through flow-assisted spray technical and parallel, randomly distributed, and preferentially vertical configurations were achieved. Surface damage tests were managed using [...]
