A new study reports on the functional properties of zinc-nanographite based nanocomposite paints for 2–9 GHz microwave absorption.

In a recently published study, multi-type nanoparticles in superhydrophobic PU-based coatings were studied towards self-cleaning, self-healing and mechanochemical durability.

Smart textiles coated with functional particles derived from sustainable sources that can block both UV and EM.

This paper, which received 1st prize at the prestigious European Coatings Show Conference demonstrated how paint formulators can accelerate innovation and minimize traditional laboratory testing when using break-through Durable Matt technology from Dow in their formulations. This new predictive formulation tool is based on big data analytics and machine learning algorithms, allowing paint formulators, using self-matting water-based acrylic binders from Dow, to identify the solution most likely to meet their performance requirements before any wet chemistry bench work begins. In the future this...

A new date has been set for the 17th edition of the Abrafati Show combining the International Coatings Congress and the International Exhibition of Coatings Industry Suppliers.
