Tenjimbayashi and colleagues note that particle-coated droplets slipped off the substrate much more easily than did non-coated particles on a coated substrate. That’s because of differences between ...

Powder coatings, substances that are decorative, protective, or both, are developed by applying a coating powder to a substrate and then fusing the coating into a continuous film by applying heat or ...

This appendix reviews various coating process technologies: diffusion coating, thermal spray (particulate deposition), physical vapor deposition (atomistic or molecular transfer), and sputtering ...

Optical coherence tomography can improve quality control and development of coated dosage forms by allowing film thickness to be measured in real time. The pharmaceutical coating process is a ...

An international team of researchers used liquid gallium to create an antiviral and antimicrobial coating and tested it on a range of fabrics, including facemasks. The coating adhered more strongly to ...

A hydrophilic and oleophobic surface repels oil. This innovative surface property has received increasing attention since it excels at anti-fogging, detergent-free cleaning, and oil and water ...

Hydrophilic coatings are often used to improve access for delivery and placement of endovascular devices such as catheters. These coatings increase a device’s lubricity, which reduces the frictional ...
