Currently, materials like metals and plastics are joined by glues and screws, but they do not offer appropriate adhesion, especially over time, due to inherent material properties or limitations in the thermal and mechanical stability of the bonding interface. This nanometer-thin adhesion technology enables the easy bonding of dissimilar materials

(Phương pháp chế tạo kết cấu dọc bằng phương pháp khắc ướt) A method for fabricating vertical structures using a wet etching method is provided. The method comprises a step of forming identical patterns corresponding to the vertical through type structures on both sides of a base plate using a first mask; a step of etching the base plate after the

Contact electrification is the generation of static charge on solid surfaces when surfaces come into contact. The accumulation of static charge on surfaces can produce electrical discharge, and result in hazardous situations, such as the explosion of flammable gases, dusts, and organic liquids. It can also make processes less efficient in many indu

In order to convert MSWI fly ash into useful materials, the toxic heavy metals in the ash has to be removed or stabilized. The current technologies such as electrochemical, sintering and vitrification have many limitations, i.e. high cost, high-energy consumption and the generation of more waste. Our technology is featuring a practical, scalable, l

Ring-spinning has been the most common technology in producing yarns because of the excellent softness and structure of its end products and its applicability on different materials. However, a residual torque (or twist liveliness) tends to build up in the yarn as the twist is inserted. Such torque results in spirality and distortion of single jers

This technology describes a green and environmental-friendly oxidization process which can be used for bleaching liquids and oils by using low level of hydrogen peroxide. Conventionally, bleaching is conducted at elevated temperature with concentrated hydrogen peroxide or bleach. In this green process, the required amount of hydrogen peroxide is gr

The technology offers functional coating using a submicron thin film that is ultra-hard, non-fragile and anti-scratch for use as protective coating on watches and electronic devices including smartphones and tablets. Compared with the existing less durable and easily scratched cover glass on mobile devices, this coating can be applied to screens pr

This technology enables a metal film to be deposited and strongly bonded onto various elastomeric materials that are typically difficult to coat such as silicone, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and fluorosilicones due to their low surface energy. A highly efficient and cost effective method was developed to activate the elastomer surfaces thereby

Surface preparation and treatment are necessary and common steps in many manufacturing processes. Disinfection of work surfaces to remove micro-organisms is a requirement in the food processing industry as well as in healthcare. Currently, the methods of surface preparation / disinfection included, chemical cleaning, which typically involves the us

Light-weighting trend has promoted usage of lightweight metals, such as aluminum or magnesium, and its alloys. Surface treatments, such as anti-corrosion coatings, are needed to improve components' corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Existing methods create protective coatings on aluminium and its alloys is Anodising or Micro-Arc Oxidation (M

Electroless plating is a major surface finishing and metallization process, which has been widely used for automobile body parts, electronics, ornamentals and jewelleries. Unlike electroplating, electroless plating can be carried out solely in aqueous solution and does not require external power source. Plating on any substrates (conductive or no-c

This technique is based on multistable shells which are developed by nanotechnology, surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT). The shape transitions of the bistable or multistable shells in the structure bring about volume changes to adjust buoyant forces in the water and enables the submerging and surfacing without weight changes of the struc

Over the past decades, light-weight vehicles, e.g. electric cars, have been widely advocated in an effort to reduce energy usage and be more environmentally friendly. This emphasis on weight reduction has led to significant deterioration in the energy dissipation capabilities. As such, crashworthiness enhancement has once again become a critical is

Plasma technology was originally developed for surface treatment to improve surface adhesion of polymers. Recent progress in plasma technology has made it possible to generate plasmas at room-temperature, which is known as non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTP) or cold plasma. NTP has a unique capability to remove and inactivate bacteria with the abs

This technology presents nano-structured tungsten carbide particles, dispersed in a tungsten metal matrix, to make a coating that can be applied via low-temperature Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) technology. This coating can do what most traditional coatings cannot: coat both internal and external surfaces, non-line-of-site areas, combing excepti

High wettability and photocatalytic effect are crucial elements for achieving self-cleaning surfaces. 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-applica

An innovative company has developed a novel nanoceramic coating that provides high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, and low friction to fast moving parts in environments with high wear or elevated temperature. This technology is superior to anodising or plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). It does not require pre-treatment, performs better

Solid Surface materials are man-made materials that are typically made of a combination of resin, pigments and fillers. They are commonly used as countertops as alternatives to natural stones such as granite and marble, and engineered stones and quartz as they can be manufactured to be of a similar appearance. To aid in the ease of installation and
