Use of nanomaterials in coatings

چکیده
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. Surfaces are coated with lacquer or paint to protect them against mechanical, chemical and weather-related impacts but also to improve their aesthetic appearance. To meet the ever-growing demands on modern coatings, the paint industry continuously strives to improve their products. Therefore, over the past years nanotechnology has become more and more important in the development of coatings. The German Paint and Printing Ink Industry Association (VdL) assumes that within the next 10 years in Germany about 20 % of the turnover of the branch will come from the use of nanotechnology, in the form of so-called „smart coatings2“ (VdL 2010).

متن کاملPreparation of Nanohydroxyapatite-Carbon Nanotube Composite Coatings on 316L Stainless Steel Using Electrophoretic Deposition
Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube composite coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). AISI 316L stainless steel and ethanol were used as substrate and dispersing medium, respectively. 5%wt carbon nanotube (CNT) was used as reinforcing phase. Uniform and macrocrack-free coatings were obtained both for hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA-5%wt CNT coatings. Scanning electron micros...

John A. Rogers, and co-workers demonstrate broadband anti-reflection coatings that rely on porous nanomaterials formed by selfassembly. The image shows the use of such coatings (orange) on an array of lenses within a concentration photovoltaics architecture, where photons are efficiently concentrated onto underlying triple-junction solar cells, leading to an efficiency enhancement of ≈8%.

متن کاملElectrophoretic Deposition of Microwave Combustion Synthesized Hydroxyapatite and Its Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Nanocomposite on 316L Stainless Steel
Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube Nanocomposite (HA-CNT) coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Hydroxyapatite was synthesized via microwave combustion method using calcium nitrate and glycing as starting materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that pure hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been synthesized. AISI 316L s...
