ABSTRACTCoupling of combinatorial chemistry methods with high-throughput (HT) performance testing and measurements of resulting properties has provided a powerful set of tools for the 10-fold accelerated discovery of new high-performance coating materials for automotive applications. This approach replaces labor-intensive steps with automated systems for evaluation of adhesion of 8 × 6 arrays of coating elements that are discretely deposited on a single 9 × 12 cm plastic substrate. Performance of coatings is evaluated with respect to their resistance to adhesion loss. This parameter is one primary consideration in end-use automotive applications. Coating leads identified from the HT screening have been validated on the traditional scale. Details of these validation studies are discussed.

Soluble functional (co)polyimides are of great interest in the area of separation processes or optical applications, due to their excellent mechanical-, thermal- and optical properties, their superior processability and the ability to adapt their properties to a wide range of special applications. Therefore, two series of novel (co)polyimides containing fluorinated sulfur- and carboxylic acid groups consisting of 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)di(phthalic anhydride) (6FDA), 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA), 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfide (4,4′-SDA) and 3,3′-diaminodiphenylsulfone (3,3′-DDS) were synthesized in a two-step polycondensation reaction. The synthesized copolymers were characterized by using NMR, FTIR, GPC, and DSC. Furthermore, with regard to processing and potential applications, the thermal stability, solubility in common organic solvents, moisture uptake, and transparency were investigated. Compared to commercially available transparent polymers, i.e., polymethylmethacrylate and cycloolefin polymers, the sulfur (co)polyimides containing carboxyl groups showed much higher glass-transition temperatures, comparably low moisture uptake and high transmission at the sodium D-line. Furthermore, good solubility in commonly used organic solvents makes them very attractive as high-performance coating materials.

In both Asia and Europe, preconstruction primers (PCP) are routinely used and retained as an integral part of the coating system. The retention of PCPs can significantly reduce the painting cost of new ship builds. The cost of protective coatings (paint) application in new construction can be upwards of 10% of the total ship cost. The process is labor intensive; therefore, it is logical that most savings are derived from reducing labor steps. Retaining PCP eliminates the necessity of a second blast operation, thus reducing labor cost and hazardous waste disposal cost. This paper addresses the feasibility of retaining PCP as the permanent primer for protective coatings systems applied in such high-performance areas as exterior hull, underwater bottom, and most importantly ballast tanks. Should the retention of PCP be proven as a viable option, the process of coatings application can be improved resulting in significant cost savings. Spending of new construction dollars will not be necessary to remove the PCP prior to the application of high-performance coating and lining systems. The test program discussed in this paper was based on work sponsored by the National Shipbuilding Research Program Advanced Shipbuilding Enterprise (NSRPAES) and the US Navy. The Surface Preparation and Coatings Panel, SP3, of the Ship Production Committee formulated the program and provided direction during the course of the work. The Ship Production Committee is one of SNAME's nine technical and research committees, and consists of the chairman supported by the ship production major initiative panel chairs and selected others.

During the past decades, there have been leaps in the development of micro/nano retinal implant technologies, which is one of the emerging applications in neural interfaces to restore vision. However, higher feedthroughs within a limited space are needed for more complex electronic systems and precise neural modulations. Active implantable medical electronics are required to have good electrical and mechanical properties, such as being small, light, and biocompatible, and with low power consumption and minimal immunological reactions during long-term implantation. For this purpose, high-density implantable packaging and flexible microelectrode arrays (fMEAs) as well as high-performance coating materials for retinal stimulation are crucial to achieve high resolution. In this review, we mainly focus on the considerations of the high-feedthrough encapsulation of implantable biomedical components to prolong working life, and fMEAs for different implant sites to deliver electrical stimulation to targeted retinal neuron cells. In addition, the functional electrode materials to achieve superior stimulation efficiency are also reviewed. The existing challenge and future research directions of micro/nano technologies for retinal implant are briefly discussed at the end of the review.

Multilayered nanocomposites, known for its mechanical properties of very high flow strength, ultra-light weight and stable plastic flow to large strains, represent a class of novel composite nanomaterials in which there arises rare opportunities to design new materials from the ground up and to tailor their properties to suit exactly their performance requirements. These materials can withstand very high strains in the elastic regime without any inelastic relaxation due to plasticity or fracture compared to its bulk counterparts. This extended elastic regime opens up new possibilities for tuning the physical and chemical properties of materials as well as bringing novel functionalities, such as high performance coating materials with online strain monitoring capability. Our resistivity measurements during ex situ uniaxial micropillar compression in this article suggests basic feasibility of a Cu–Nb multilayered nanocomposite with 20 nm layer thickness having a novel functionality for online strain monitoring capability, in addition to its more known application as a high performance coating materials due to its extraordinary strength and deformability. A linear trend of resistivity with respect to true strain for strains in excess of 3.5% was observed and suggests a significant regime for use for strain sensor/detection/monitoring capability.

ABSTRACTScratch resistant transparent organically modified sol-gel materials typically utilize organics as acrylates, or pre-polymer silicon or carbon backbone material. The use of diepoxide monomers within a sol-gel matrix has yet to be described as a means of obtaining high performance coating materials. This paper describes the preparation and characterization of UV curable inorganic-organic hybrid glass materials based on the incorporation of cycloaliphatic diepoxide monomers into a sol-gel composition of TEOS and the epoxide silane coupling agent glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane. We report aging and humidity studies along with processing conditions that affect the silicate distribution and cationic cure of the diepoxide resin based on solution and solid state NMR experiments. Mechanical analysis of thin films prepared by varying processing conditions and length of the diepoxide backbone are also discussed.

Combining organic and inorganic components at a nanoscale is an effective way to obtain high performance coating materials with excellent chemical and physical properties. This review focuses on recent approaches to prepare hybrid nanostructured waterborne coating materials combining the mechanical properties and versatility of silica as the inorganic filler, with the flexural properties and ease of processing of the polymer matrix. We cover silica-polymer coupling agents used to link the organic and inorganic components, the formation of hybrid films from these silica-polymer nanostructures, and their different applications. These hybrid nanostructures can be used to prepare high performance functional coatings with different properties from optical transparency, to resistance to temperature, hydrophobicity, anti-corrosion, resistance to scratch, and antimicrobial activity.
