BYK Additives & Instruments introduce new product developments for the coating industry.
Technology
Flexible Hard Coating
An optically transparent epoxy-siloxane molecular hybrid material that simultaneously exhibits glass-like wear resistance and strength, plastic-like modulus and a high modulus of resilience is developed by Dongchan Jang, Byeong-Soo Bae and co-workers.
Nanophotonic Trapping: Precise Manipulation and Measurement of Biomolecular Arrays
A new review highlights progress in nanophotonic optical trapping and manipulation technologies with a focus on high-throughput applications in the biosciences.
Functionalized Silk Fibroin Films as a Platform for Optical Diffraction-Based Sensing Applications
A set of biocompatible, biodegradable, and biofunctionalizable diffractive optical elements (DOEs) using silk proteins as the building materials are reported by Zhendong Tao, Tiger H. Tao and co-workers.
Gold Nanocups: Complex Morphology, Simple Fabrication Strategy
Thermal dewetting of gold, which is sandwiched between the yolk and shell, leads to the desired nanocup morphology.
Drone Flying is a New Method for Monitoring River Habitats
Monitoring the quality and distribution of physical habitat parameters in rivers, such as water depth, grain size and flow velocity, is vital for species survival.
Materials Science and Engineering at the Montanuniversität Leoben
The present special issue of Advanced Engineering Materials gives an overview on the materials science and engineering activities at the Montanuniversität Leoben.
Catching Antibodies with Protein Nanofibrils
Engineerined protein nanofibrils show a much higher binding capacity for antibody purification compared to current gold standard.
Stretchable Ink for Flexible Electronic Fabrics
When fabric stretches, printed patterns crack and separate. This new conductive ink maintains the integrity of printed circuits for electronic textiles.
Light-Switchable Valves
Researchers from Eindhoven have developed a spiropyran containing photoresponsive size-tunable hydrogel that can be used as a micromixer or light switchable valve.
