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.
Plasma activation (or plasma functionalization) is a method of surface modification employing plasma processing, which improves surface adhesion properties of many materials including metals, glass, ceramics, a broad range of polymers and textiles and even natural materials such as wood and seeds.
Such coatings provide protection against high temperatures (for example thermal barrier coatings for exhaust heat management), corrosion, erosion, wear; they can also change the appearance, electrical or tribological properties of the surface, replace worn material, etc. When sprayed on substrates of various shapes and removed, free-standing ...
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 ).
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.
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).
