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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

David Keehan sees a lot of similarities between coaching a football team and running a business. And he knows a lot about both. Keehan is president of Advanced Polymer Coatings in Avon, and he was ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a spray-on polymer coating that could help plants resist harmful bacterial infections and survive drought. The advance, published 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.

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say their polymer coating could be used to protect photovoltaic modules, due to its impermeability to gases. The team has demonstrated that a ...

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

Advanced Polymer Coatings, which is expanding its manufacturing facilities in Avon, already has found some business to take up the new capacity it expects to have online next year. The company ...

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 ...
