Thermally sprayed metamaterial coatings for photovoltaic energy harvesting applications (#themetacoat) Nov 15, 2018 - Jul 31, 2019
Metamaterials, an artificial periodic two- or three-dimensional configuration, can change propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves, which in return can cause wave energy to get absorbed into the material. Taking this idea forward, we intro... Read More about Thermally sprayed metamaterial coatings for photovoltaic energy harvesting applications (#themetacoat).

Digitalisation of Thermal Spray Dec 6, 2021 - Apr 5, 2022
Thermal spray coatings significantly increase the remaining useful life of components employed in aerospace, automotive, oil & gas and offshore wind sectors.

The global thermal spray market share is expected to reach US $13 billion by 20... Read More about Digitalisation of Thermal Spray.
