United States. Materials scientists at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have developed a superhydrophobic coating and a process to apply it to the inner surfaces of long tubular structures. The technology is primarily designed to mitigate or prevent hydrates and other deposits from adhering to underwater pipes.
United States. Purdue researchers have observed a way in which the brittle nature of ceramics can be overcome as they withstand heavy loads, leading to stronger structures, such as airplane engine blade linings and dental implants.
International. Scientists from India found a simple method to manufacture superhydrophobic coatings to combat bacterial colonization in aluminum with relevance for marine and medical applications.
International. A new study by researchers at the University of Alicante shows that thermoplastic polyurethane coatings with good stickiness at 10-37ºC can be prepared using mixtures of polyethers of different molecular weights.
