Polymeric Resin Additive Paste to Achieve Photocatalytic Effect in Indoor Environments
Photocatalytic effect is a crucial element for achieving self-cleaning surfaces in an indoor environment. Self-cleaning surfaces minimise the need for labour intensive and costly cleaning and maintenance services. However, commercially available self-cleaning solutions are typically in the form of coatings that wear off with time and require re-app -
Nanocoating of Mass Production Aluminium Moulds for Improved Cooling
Steel has been the traditional material used to craft product grade moulds for Plastic Injection Moulding due to its strength and durability. Even though steel has significant disadvantages such as uneven cooling, longer cooling time per cycle and heavy weight, there has been a lack of better alternatives for production work. On the other hand, Alu -
Durable Antimicrobial Coating Platform for Healthcare Applications
With the world population rapidly ageing, there will be a large number of elderly patients who are immunocompromised and more susceptible to infections, many times stemming from surgical site, burn, chronic wound, catheter insertion site or contact lens infections, among others. We have developed a novel, one-step crosslinking method to make durabl -
Plastic Heat Sink Made of Polymer Nanocomposite to Prevent Heat Related Failures in Electronic Devices
The invention provides a cost effective injection mouldable plastic heat sink that displays excellent thermal conductivity, mechanical strength and electrical resistance in order for it to be applicable for a wide range of uses particularly as a heat sink in the growing electronic and other manufacturing industries. The heat sink is made of a commo -
Two-Step Sintering Technique for Printed Electronics Applications
Sintering is one of the most critical post-processes in electronics printing. Most printed electronics are fabricated with metallic nanoparticles inks, which are not electrically conductive when freshly deposited because the metallic nanoparticles are typically coated with organic additives to prevent agglomeration. The sintering process is therefo -
Flat Optics Technologies for Advanced Photonic Applications
Flat optics is an emerging technology that uses nano-patterned surfaces designed to perform the same functions as bulk optical components. Applications for this exciting technology include 3D sensing, displays, AR / VR solutions, imaging, microscopy, holographic security and communications to name a few. These can be processed using industrially es
