The Journal of Coatings Technology and Research is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal. It is owned by the American Coatings Association and published on their behalf by Springer Science+Business Media. The editor-in-chief of the journal is Dr. Mark Nichols (Ford Motor Company).
A typical PEO surface on aluminium, as viewed in an SEM. A yacht winch drum undergoing PEO processing. Below; a finished winch drum installed on a yacht. The coating is a chemical conversion of the substrate metal into its oxide, and grows both inwards and outwards from the original metal
In 1987, Matthews became an Editor of the Elsevier Surface and Coatings Technology journal, [26] becoming editor-in-chief in 2013. His research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) , [ 27 ] [ 28 ] the European Union (EU) , European Research Council (ERC) and other governmental and industrial sources.
Surface engineering is the sub-discipline of materials science which deals with the surface of solid matter. It has applications to chemistry , mechanical engineering , and electrical engineering (particularly in relation to semiconductor manufacturing ).
Polymeric coatings are another area of applied grafting techniques. In the formulation of water-borne paint, latex particles are often surface modified to control particle dispersion and thus coating characteristics such as viscosity, film formation, and environmental stability (UV exposure and temperature variations).
A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, or substrate. [1] The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both. [ 2 ] Coatings may be applied as liquids , gases or solids e.g. powder coatings .
Specific technologies can impose constraints; for example, the line-of-sight transfer is typical of most PVD coating techniques, however, some methods allow full coverage of complex geometries. Some PVD technologies operate at high temperatures and vacuums, requiring special attention by operating personnel and sometimes a cooling water system ...
Plastic coating is a term that is commonly used in technology but is nevertheless ambiguous. It can be understood to mean the coating of plastic (e.g., metallization of plastics [ 1 ] ) or the coating of other materials (e.g., electrical cable ) with plastics.
