The automotive, agriculture, and construction equipment (ACE) industries is witnessing an increase in the R&D and deployment of protective paints and coatings. Leading automotive coating producers are developing solutions which enable faster preparation and drying times. Coating producers emphasize on paints which enable painters to make small scra...

Nanomaterials play a very important role in the development of coatings. The introduction of innovative nanomaterials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and cellulose nanofibers, in the coating industry has increased the demand for nanocoatings over the past few years. Nanocoatings as compared to conventional coatings offer better processing, fun...

Ceramic nanofibers are considered as 1D nanostructures of ceramics, with the most predominantly metal oxide ceramics. The reduced size of the ceramic nanofibers in comparison to their bulk counterparts such as ceramic fibers results in varied physiochemical and structural characteristics, thereby, expanding their application potential. This resear...

This research service titled “Growth Opportunities for Superalloys,” provides an understanding of different types of initiatives taken by researchers in the superalloys technology domain or the development of the l high performance material for medium to extremely high temperature applications. Global and regional funding by key stakeholders an...

Ion exchange resin is a cross linked and a porous polymer made out of polystyrene or polyacrylic compounds containing functional groups with mobile ions which can be exchanged with the ions of the same charge when dissolved in a liquid media. Anion exchange resins in particular have negatively charged mobile ions for such exchange processes. The W...

Biosurfactants are becoming an attractive alternative for conventional surfactants. This transition is gaining importance as product developmental efforts in application areas such as cosmetics, personal care, and agriculture have already received satisfying results after shifting toward non-crude-based surfactants. There is also a significant push...

India’s automotive industry is gaining significant momentum due to rapid economic growth and profitability. Indian government’s “Make in India” initiative played a major role in promoting start-ups in the country typically in the automotive industry. Increasing population, urbanization, and emphasis to curb carbon emissions to maintain CAFE...

Dumping of plastics in landfills and in marine environment are having adverse effects across the globe. Also, microplastics found in most of the water sources, affects both human and marine life. The current widely adopted crude-based plastics are degraded to reduce its adverse impact. However, degradation of plastics also requires energy intensive...

With the increasing importance of integrated circuits, the need to self-contained units in the electrical and electronic systems are observed to be significant. The electronic components were conventionally connected by soldering or by wire bonding techniques. Thermally conductive adhesives proves to be a promising alternative for these conventiona...
