The defective coating analyzed in the example presented here was sourced from a car door that had been manufactured from ultra-low-carbon, titanium-stabilized steel. The coating is peeling off (Figure ...

Controlling defects in two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, may lead to improved membranes for water desalination, energy storage, sensing or advanced protective coatings. Researchers at Penn ...

Sheet steel has been the most commonly used structural material in the automobile industry since the 1920s. Steel is stiff and robust, making it an ideal option for durable chassis and welded parts.

Preparation chemicals that penetrate unsealed overlaps or via poor-quality welds boil out of the connection at the time of galvanization and cause coating misses and surface contamination during ...

Common defects in tablet film coating can be minimized by effective design of the tablet core and the coating process. Film coatings on pharmaceutical tablets provide a broad range of functionalities, ...

Applying a moisture protective barrier to tablet cores can help prevent degradation caused by ambient moisture. Many APIs are moisture-sensitive and thus need protection against ambient moisture.
