Description

This issue of Advanced Coating & Surface Technology TOE focuses on recent innovations in coatings for chromium substrates, metallic seals, window glass, and nuclear reactors. These are some of applications that are driving the advanced coatings and surface technologies business.
A corrosion resistant coating for chromium substrates, coatings for mechanical components exposed to high temperatures, composite coatings for application to mechanical seals used in high-temperature applications, and multilayer coatings to withstand normal and accident conditions in nuclear reactors are profiled in this TOE.
 
The Advanced Coating & Surface Technology TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) provides intelligence on technologies, products, processes, applications and strategic insights on various coatings across industries. This encompasses protective and functional coatings such as antimicrobial coatings, food coatings, energy-saving coatings, smart glazing, hydrophilic, hydrophobic and super hydrophobic coatings, corrosion protection coatings, barrier coatings and paints.

The Chemicals and Advanced Materials cluster tracks research & innovation trends and developments across specialty chemicals, plastics, polymers, chemicals, bio-chemicals, metals, coatings, thin films, surface treatments, composites, alloys, oil and gas, fuel additives, fibers and several other related technologies and its impact and application across industries.

Keywords: Chromium substrates, metallic seals, window glass, nuclear reactors, corrosion resistant coating, heat resistant coating
