Solar receiver coating development: the synthesis and growth of copper chromite spinel particles across sol-gel routes and calcination profiles
… spectrally selective material for solar receiver coatings to improve solar efficiency. Key requirements of such a coating are its high absorptivity, robustness, and ability to prevent high temperature oxidation of the substrate. This work describes synthesis routes for the creation of CuCr2O4 …

Development of high temperature/oxidation- resistant PVD coatings for cutting tools using HIPIMS
… resistant, nanoscale, multilayer PVD, hard coatings have been developed through combine DC Unbalanced Magnetron (UBM) and High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) deposition technologies. The properties of the coatings lend themselves to the application of protecting cutting tools …

Biocompatible circuits : inflammation and soluble adhesion molecules after cardiopulmonary bypass
… developed the biocompatible circuit (BCC) coating for the disposable CPB circuits. Four such coatings were studied and compared to an uncoated control group in a total of 101 patients undergoing routine CPB-assisted cardiac surgical procedures. Soluble adhesion molecule (SAM) activation was …

A tribological study of a detonation gun coating of tungsten carbide for use in a subsea gate valve
Detonation gun coatings of tungsten carbide have been widely recognised as one of the most effective anti-wear coatings for oilfield applications. However, very little fundamental tribological information exists for the material, which hinders coating development and the evolution of correct …

Corrosion and Corrosion Prevention Technology: Revisiting the Fundamentals and Looking Forward
… with over a century's worth of research and development. This venerable state of affairs is in line with the importance of the topic, which is indispensable in a global economy so dependent on metals as structural and commercial goods. Nevertheless, to an external observer, it seems as if …

Anti-fouling interfaces for energy applications
… surface energy via the use of hydrophobic coatings, or creating atomically smooth interfaces to eliminate nucleation sites, or both, via the infusion of low surface energy lubricants into rough superhydrophobic substrates. Although lubricant-based surfaces are promising candidates for …
