Stable Fluorinated Antimicrobial Coatings
Contact antimicrobials for use in the medical device industry are being studied extensively to minimize the risk of hospital acquired infections, which are among the top ten leading causes of death in the US. Surfaces modified with quaternary ammonium containing side chains have been known to …

Polyelectrolyte Coatings with Internal Hierarchy
… To generate different levels of hierarchy, the coatings were constructed by using either the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition method (lateral chemical structure), the adsorption of supramolecular aggregates (lateral topographycal structure), or the combination of both. Using these techniques, one …

Nanostructured Coatings for Antimicrobial Applications
… charged particles of lysozyme and chitosan. The coatings are durable and resist detachment against flowing water, while AFM characterization reveals the presence of a complex surface topology with a high degree of roughness. The wettability of the coated surfaces reflects an interplay between the …

Fire protection of surface coatings
… and toxic species production. Fire protective coatings are often employed to protect this unpredictably flammable substrate from ignition (for example resulting from arson attacks in the communal areas of multi- occupancy buildings). Literature shows a gap in the understanding of this problem,a …

A study of intumescent coatings
Intumescent coatings are used in the field of fire protection to prevent certain construction elements reaching the critical temperatures at which excessive damage would. occur, thus avoiding premature structural collapse. The studies presented in this thesis have been directed towards an …

Microcapsule-based self-protecting coatings
… elements. More recently, self-protective coatings have been introduced using microencapsulated anti-corrosion chemicals and compounds that are released on demand at the site of active corrosion. Once triggered via capsule release, the passive coating later is activated thereby intervening …

Environmentally friendly hybrid coatings for corrosion protection: silane based pre-treatments and nanostructured waterborne coatings
… production of metals pre-treatments and organic coatings (a complete protection system at all) designed from the nanoscale. The final aim is to develop protection systems with improved corrosion protection properties and a low environmental impact. In particular, multifunctional silane hybrid …

Optical transport of pseudo-random coatings
Coatings are widely used to improve the optical performance of surfaces exposed in the built environment, technological devices, and consumer goods. In the last decades the improvement of techniques to create structured coatings has hugely increased the range of properties that can be achieved by …

Bondcoat developments for thermal barrier coatings
… has lead to the widespread use of surface coatings technology to protect hot-section componentry from the harsh operating environment. The ongoing drive towards higher operating temperatures has lead to an interest, over the last few years, in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). TBCs are …

Optimisation of plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings
… commonly used method for the production of HA coatings. This process is a complicated one, affected by a large number of parameters. Due to this complexity, the process – property – structure relationship is poorly understood. The present work aims to clarify this relationship and use the …

Advanced Electrohydrodynamic Atomisation Engineered Microneedle Coatings
… pierced the membrane and the Es and Esp MN coatings released a large amount of the loaded drug within 6 hours for all formulations. This study has demonstrated the capability of these robust MNs to encapsulate a diverse range of drugs within a polymeric matrix giving rise to the potential of …

Smart coatings for energy saving buildings
… with the aim to add in binder and obtaining cool coatings. A “cool” coating for roofing consists of paint (or glaze) containing color pigments, which do not absorb the infrared portion of the solar spectrum. Cool coatings applied over buildings surface provide an effective solution for passive …
