EUROMAT2017 Conference Celebrates Its 15th Edition
This years’ EUROMAT2017 conference will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece, 17-22 September.
Painting Silk with Water and Light
A naturally occurring structural protein (silk fibroin) is used to generate a large inverse opal. Selective exposure to water and/or light can change silk’s conformation thus painting different structural colors.
Plasma Pretreatment Processes Improve Plastic Coatings Twofold
A new study shows that propanol-based plasma pretreatment of plastics not only improves adhesion of coatings to plastics but improves the coatings themselves as well.
