Coating Powders, Pellets, and Small 3D Objects with PVD

Blog / By

Want to read offline? [Download PDF] Most thin-film deposition processes are designed with flat substrates in mind. Wafers, slides and foils present stable surfaces that face the deposition sources directly. In these applications, the science is well understood, the equipment is well established, and the results are predictable. However, a growing number of research and […]

Nanoparticle Coatings for Infection-Resistant Titanium Implants

Case Studies / By

Industry: Biomedical / Orthopaedic and Dental Implants Challenge: Titanium alloys such as Ti6Al4V are the material of choice for orthopaedic and dental implants, valued for their mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, their bioinert nature means they cannot chemically bond with surrounding bone tissue, and implant-associated bacterial infections remain a leading cause of revision

Blog / By

Want to read offline? [Download PDF] Soil contamination, from heavy metals, pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), poses serious risks to human health and ecosystems. Conventional methods such as ICP-MS, GC-MS, and HPLC remain the gold standard for confirmatory analysis, but they require sophisticated laboratory infrastructure, lengthy sample preparation, and are poorly suited to rapid

Green Energy from Water Splitting via Piezocatalysis

Blog / By

Want to read offline? [Download PDF] Generating green hydrogen from water splitting is pivotal to the global transition to low-carbon energy systems. Among emerging technologies, piezocatalysis, the conversion of mechanical energy directly into chemical energy via piezoelectric materials, has captured growing attention as a novel, eco-friendly approach to drive water splitting without the need for

PVD for Solid State Lithium-Ion Batteries in Space Applications

Blog / By

Want to read offline? [Download PDF] Spacecraft power systems operate under constraints that eliminate many conventional energy storage options. CubeSats and small satellites in low Earth orbit experience thermal excursions from −20°C to +60°C or wider, sustained exposure to ionising radiation, and hard mass and volume limits, with no option for in-orbit maintenance or electrolyte
