Coupling electrochemical conversion of the greenhouse gas CO 2 with renewable electricity sources—such as solar and wind—promises green production of high-demand chemicals and transportation fuels.

Bubbles created by pressurized water can directed at surfaces and trigger cavitation, the continued creation and collapse of bubbles. The addition of an ultrasonic transducer helps reinforce this ...

Although magnesium alloys are used extensively, the high corrosion rates are a big drawback. They corrode rapidly in highly chlorinated solutions such as human body fluid. This is a massive problem ...

Water-based coating has gained much attention globally due to environmental issues. This work aims to develop a waterborne epoxy coating incorporated with modified natural rubber (NR) latex for ...

Conversion coatings are coating layers applied to the surface of a metal substrate to enhance its appearance and improve physical and chemical properties, such as corrosion resistance and paint ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is working with multiple Pentagon components and commercial partners to produce and refine new paint-like coatings that can temporarily shield tactical military ...

Thin coatings made from crustacean shells, insect exoskeletons and plant matter improve the conversion of carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals The stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz in the ...

Fastener coatings or finishes improve appearance, increase corrosion resistance, and provide lubricity. Electrodeposited coatings: Zinc, cadmium, tin, nickel, and chromium coatings are most common for ...
