Hybrid coatings increase hardness of plastic and allow properties to be tailored
Increasing the surface hardness of many materials opens them up for use in a wide variety of new applications. These new hybrid materials could be used in areas like anticorrosion coatings for metals, scratch and abrasion resistant coatings for plastics, antistatic films plus colour decorative coatings for glasses and plastics. view more (2006-05-15)
Electric Nudge toward Self-organization
In search of materials with nonlinear optical properties Window panes and eyeglass lenses that get darker as it gets brighter are especially great in the summer. Their secret lies in optical properties that change as the light intensity changes - nonlinear optical properties. Such materials are also of interest as optoelectronic components. One... view more... (2002-03-07)
