• Joining Composites
  with the carbon fibers. Coating the fasteners guards against corrosion but adds cost and time to assembly. Aluminum fasteners are often replaced by more expensive titanium and stainless steel when carbon-fiber composites are used. Adhesive bonding: Composite bonds with adhesives generally...
• Plastic Media Blasting for Powder Coating Removal
  An effective method for stripping all metal types, plastic media blasting removes all or a portion of a cured powder coating from the surface of a part without causing damage. This article defines plastic media blasting and compares it to several other stripping methods used in powder coating...
• High-Tech, Space-Age Metal Surface Enhancement Coating Solves Wear and Release Problems for Pine Instrument Company's Gyratory Compaction Asphalt Testers
  High-Tech, Space-Age Metal Surface Enhancement Coating Solves Wear and Release Problems for Pine Instrument Company's Gyratory Compaction Asphalt Testers. The development of computer-controlled asphalt testing equipment to simulate and then quantify and predict the punishment which various asphalt...
• Medical coatings with some added "mussel"
  A two-sided coating designed by Northwestern University researchers may bring better medical implants and help keep patients safe from infections. This image shows the ability of the antifouling coating to repel cell attachment. A flat gold surface has been treated in the lower half of the image...
• Bioplastics, Energy Efficiency Build Up Attendance and Program at NPE 2009
  Bioplastics and energy efficiency buoy this year's plastics show Co-located expos and conferences cover the depth of the still-growing industry National Paint and Coating Assoc. (NPCA)/Federation of Societies for Coating Technology (FSCT) Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Society of the Plastics...
• Composite cylinders get user friendly
  of sizes and configurations. A new generation of cylinder tubing, however, lets designers take advantage of high-performance composites, along with lower costs and greater design flexibility. Composite cylinders outperform their steel and aluminum counterparts in several significant ways. For instance...
• High-dazzle coatings at low temperatures
  vapor deposition (CVD) is typically associated with an application process employing extreme-temperatures where hot erosion is a problem. High temperatures (750 C), relegate most commercial CVD processes to coating high-temperature materials such as cemented carbides. In contrast, physical...
• A solid performer
  , vacuum, and corrosive environments. There are several ways to apply MoS to sliding surfaces, from vacuum sputtering to sprinkling it on as a loose powder. The most common technique mixes the powder with a binder and carrier to form a bonded coating. Molybdenum disulfide owes its exceptional...
• Preface
  structural and non-structural applications, the Handbook lets you thoroughly explore the use of polymeric adhesives and sealants for joining or bonding metals, plastics, composites and elastomers. You get the best available information and recommendations on: *Applicable theories and fundamentals *Joint...
• Shielding
  are available. One uses nickel-coated PAN carbon fibers. Nickel coating increases conductivity by up to 50 times. At 15% loading, the fibers have a conductivity equal to that of a 50% loading of uncoated fibers. Another is based on stainless-steel fibers. These composites have conductivities...
