Nano-carbon Coatings by Electrophoretic Technologies

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This is a collaborative project which will integrate nano-carbon materials with electrophoretic deposition (EPD)to create a truly unique coatings technology which meets today’s critical challenges of the coatings industry.The new EPD technology will use aqueous colloidal electrolytes which are compliant with stringent REACHregulations and eliminate the use of toxic solvents and materials. Additionally, the new technology will enablethe uniform and controlled coating of graphene nano-carbons on complex 3D and internal shapes, by means ofdigital modelling and simulation, which is currently impossible to achieve by other methods. The obtainednano-carbon coatings will be studied for their anti-corrosion properties, and in future may find furtherapplications as thermal and conductive coatings, as well as energy storage components. The project willdemonstrate the new technology in both laboratory and industrial environment.
