What Are the Benefits of Nanotechnology in Coatings?
Nanotechnology enables coatings to offer enhanced protective properties. Nanocoatings can be engineered to be hydrophobic or hydrophilic, depending on the application. They can also provide enhanced anti-corrosion properties, increased hardness, and self-healing capabilities. For example, ceramic nanoparticles in coatings can dramatically increase hardness and scratch resistance, making surfaces more durable.
