In a huge step in the fight against microplastics, researchers have created a new plastic that breaks down in seawater. It ...

They developed a straightforward solution using PTFE (commonly known as Teflon), which is recognized for its excellent hydrophobic properties. However, PTFE lacks conductivity, necessitating ...

The solution, devised by Rufer and Varanasi, is elegant in its simplicity. They used a plastic material, PTFE (essentially Teflon), that has been known to have good hydrophobic properties. However, ...

“3D printing has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. Most people started with the hard plastic called PLA, which is great, but has a limited number of real-world applications,” said ...

When tested under high humidity at -12°C, the valleys of the macrotextured graphene oxide-coated surface resisted frost ...

Plastic littered across the world’s beaches can now be detected from space. Researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Australia developed a new satellite imaging ...

Eco-friendly and biodegradable plastic using bacteria has been developed at the University of the Philippines (UP) Los Baños, according to the report of Martin Javier for Game Changer on "24 Oras" on ...

Hydrophobic coatings have revolutionized various industries by offering innovative solutions for surface protection. These specialized coatings repel water and other liquids, providing a protective ...

Hardly any other chemical substance can compete with PFAS, due to their unique properties. That explains why it is so hard to find a replacement for these toxic “forever chemicals”, which accumulate ...

the ReleasePLAS plasma polymer functional release coating, which enables release agent-free production of plastic components, the PLASLON non-stick coating, and solutions for functionalization of ...
