This issue of the Advanced Coating & Surface Technology TOE covers innovations in aerospace, textile, and healthcare applications. The TOE includes a carbon reinforced ceramic coating that can be applied at elevated temperatures, smart textiles that change color with the aid of mobile phone, and a coating that facilitates the process of swallowing capsules and tablets by patients. A surface treatment for enhancing bonding properties and an ice-repelling coating for aerospace applications are also profiled.
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: Ceramic materials, ceramic coating, ice-repelling coating, smart textiles, graphene coating, plasma surface treatment
