Powder coating is now preferred over liquid coating and has also been extensively employed in numerous industries due to its negligible VOC (volatile organic compound) emission, high solid content, ...

Powder coatings, substances that are decorative, protective, or both, are developed by applying a coating powder to a substrate and then fusing the coating into a continuous film by applying heat or ...

Modified drug release rates play a key role in the efficacy of modern medicines. For example, delayed release of active ingredients allows patients to take fewer tablets or capsules to achieve the ...

Optical coherence tomography can improve quality control and development of coated dosage forms by allowing film thickness to be measured in real time. The pharmaceutical coating process is a ...

Robots can be programmed to coat almost any part shape, no matter how complex, at any speed needed for efficient processing. Applying a coating to a medical device or instrument can improve the device ...

The DPMG method utilizes a mechanofusion method and was discovered in the process of coating different particles. In mechanofusion, particles are introduced into a spinning drum (1,000 – 5,000 rpm).

Particle size and shape can also affect various other properties of inks, paints, and coatings. In terms of viscosity, smaller particles have a higher surface area, increasing viscosity, which ...

New anti-reflective material on grating debris shield component also helps to protect other optics from debris and will cut need for replacement parts. Optics engineers at the National Ignition ...
