UV/EB Curing of Nanocomposites for Enhancing the Fuctionality and Utility in Coatings Industry

-Composite materials combine properties of the individual components in a synergetic manner to produce a variety of materials in an efficient and cost effective manner. Thus, composite materials are being used in various applications from automotive to furniture industries. Materials reinforced with nanoscale components are adding new dimensions to composite materials and enable further major i...

UV-LED Curing Efficiency of Wood Coatings

Ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have attracted great interest in recent years. They can be used to polymerize coatings, such as those used for prefinished wood flooring. In this project, two lamps were compared for their suitability to be used on a wood flooring finishing line: a UV-microwave and a UV-LED lamp. Low heat emission was found for the UV-LED lamp compared to the UV-micro...
