Future robots may sport a wax coating that allows them to transform from soft and squishy to stiff and strong. Dipping foam or plastic in molten wax creates structures whose flexibility and strength ...

Materials scientists have created a 'superhydrophobic' coating that easily slicks away viscous liquids like syrup, honey and ketchup. They detail the engineering feat in a new paper that describes ...

Dip coating, a ubiquitous process in modern materials science and engineering, involves immersing a solid substrate into a liquid and then withdrawing it at a controlled speed to form a coherent film.

There are a number of advantages to dip molding and coating that makes these processes both cost-effective and time-efficient. The molds, called "mandrels," are typically needed for the dip molding ...

Are you tired of waxing your car every few weeks? Are you thinking about putting a ceramic coating on your car? Considering that a ceramic coat lasts two to five years, it's a good way to get out of ...
