International. Superamphiphobic artificial surfaces have been garnering a lot of attention in recent years to improve durability in practical applications. A new study deals with the preparation of a robust and superamphiphobic film highly resistant to wear by reaction of the self-assembled monolayer surface.
United States. Scientists at Rice University plan to harness the power of the sun to build functional synthetic polymers using photosensitive quantum dots (microscopic semiconductor particles) as a catalyst.
United States. NASA revealed that the coating that was used to cover the Oscars is the same that is implemented for telescopes that allow us to see distant galaxies: gold.
Peru/Argentina. Recently, scientists from the Institute of Corrosion and Protection, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and the Center for Research and Development in Paint Technology (Cidepint) published a study of zinc tannins prepared with Tara powder (Caesalpinia spinosa) as anticorrosive pigments in alkyd paints and formulations of washing primers.
