Researchers found that the use of highly conductive graphene layers for thermoelectric energy capture is a promising approach to convert heat into electrical energy, gaining new insights into how to best utilise the conductivity in graphene-based nanomaterials.
Researchers found that by using a modified nano-SiO2 hybrid medium in combination with a fluorepoxy polymer, a superhydrophobic coating can be created on paper that retains the original properties of the paper.
Researchers found that the integration of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) into intumescent coatings improves fire resistance and smoke suppression.
A recent research proves that the formulation of an epoxy-based self-intumescent fire protection coating with a suitable mass ratio of APP and Cu2O offers a significant improvement in fire safety compared to pure epoxy resin.
Researchers discovered that the chemical coupling of polyamideimide (PAI) with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) leads to an improvement in crystallisation behaviour and thus influences the application properties of PAI-PTFE coatings.
