This issue of Advanced Coating & Surface Technology TOE highlights certain eco-friendly coatings used in several applications. A nanoresonator coating has been highlighted, which enhances the light absorption capabilities of solar cells by 20%. A coating to protect biopesticides from environmental degradation has also been featured, which could provide high ROI to agribusinesses. An ecofriendly conformal coating to protect PCB circuitry, an omniphobic coating with water and oil repellency, and a biodegradable coating that prevents ingression of moisture into paper have also been discussed 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.
