Although concrete is commonly perceived as a dry and dense substance, it is actually an inherently porous material that more closely resembles a hard sponge. Within concrete’s matrix are microscopic ...

Preparation chemicals that penetrate unsealed overlaps or via poor-quality welds boil out of the connection at the time of galvanization and cause coating misses and surface contamination during ...

Electrode coating defects can greatly affect battery performance and safety, and if not caught early, defects such as non-uniformity, scratches, and voids can result in costly downstream failures. The ...

The authors experiment with a resonant acoustic mixer as a method for dry powder coating. Efficient handling and transport of fine-particle powders can be difficult because of the highly cohesive ...

Common defects in tablet film coating can be minimized by effective design of the tablet core and the coating process. Film coatings on pharmaceutical tablets provide a broad range of functionalities, ...
