Use of nanomaterials in coatings

Automobiles, planes, ships, machinery, facades and the interior of buildings, furniture, household appliances, magazines, posters and data storage devices: The list of products covered with lacquers and paints is sheer endless. In 2012 about 2.6 million tons of lacquer, paint and printing ink were produced in Germany (VdL 2013). This shows how important these products are in our daily lives. Su...

Physicochemical Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Nanosilver Containing Hydrogels

Silver ion has been used for centuries to prevent and treat a variety of diseases and infections. In recent years, extensive studies have been undertaken on the use of antimicrobial properties of silver, incorporated within medical devices. The aim of this study was to prepare a formulation containing silver ion, which could be applied for wound dressing. The purity of nanosilver was measured b...
