A new coating, however, has been created to keep that from happening. Designed to be applied to the surface of titanium prostheses, the polymer coating incorporates a fragment of a protein known as ...

On a warming planet, your food supply depends on crops that can survive heat, drought and fast spreading disease. Now ...

The latest and largest trial to compare durable-polymer versus biodegradable-polymer stents—this time in the setting of acute coronary syndromes—should convince the field once and for all that a ...

Nanotechnology has garnered considerable interest during the previous decade. Simultaneously, the marine sector has experienced great transformation and significant investment. This article covers the ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a spray-on polymer coating that could help plants resist ...

Industrial piping has a hard life, as it's constantly exposed to liquids that can damage its inner surface over time. A new polymer coating could help protect such pipes, while removing toxic metals ...

Conservators use polymer coatings to preserve iron artifacts by keeping out moisture and oxygen to prevent corrosion. But a recent study suggests that as they age, such coatings may trigger a cycle of ...

With little more than a coat of paint, buildings could soon make the air around them cooler and harvest gallons of water directly from the atmosphere. Researchers at the University of Sydney in ...

Gao Liu guided the development of the material. The HOS-PFM coating conducts electrons and ions concurrently. This improves battery life by ensuring battery stability and high charge/discharge rates.
