When implanted in the body, bioactive glass triggers specific biological activity which forms a layer on the glass surface with a material similar to hydroxyapatite. This layer enables the bioactive ...
A moth's eye and lotus leaf were the inspirations for an antireflective water-repelling, or superhydrophobic, glass coating that holds significant potential for solar panels, lenses, detectors, ...
This article was originally published on MedicalDesign.com in May 2014. Applying a coating to a medical device or instrument can improve the device’s performance and reduce potential side effects. As ...
A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially during the cold season, by preventing heat-loss from leaky windows. The ...
One of the staple materials of architecture is glass, but it can constitute a weak point in the thermal performance of buildings if left untreated. The optical and thermal properties of architectural ...
