Solar Sharc® is a durable repellent coating which is being developed for deposition onto PV modules. It will eliminate the accumulation of surface contamination
One of the great things about developing Sharc Matter is working with academic institutions in order to see how senior researchers can use our particles in new innovative applications: https://t.co/6ZrjNqfiMx @RoySocChem@NTUsg@MIT@GeorgiaTech@UCBerkeley
Our nanoparticles play a huge role in the development of BIPV (along with our partners @onyxsolar ), and as cities are encouraged to implement 'solar skins' this is becoming even more important in the fight against carbon emissions: https://t.co/bM7LAt6JtO
One of the key areas we focus heavily on is ensuring our product meets hazardous materials regulation when shipped or transported. This is an interesting potted history of how moving hazmat has evolved over the years: https://t.co/OP2zzSypCO @hazmatnews@ChemistryWorld
An interesting study in understanding the performance of photovoltaic systems - and an area we are familiar with through our @SolarSharc program: https://t.co/68HJgN63H1 @onyxsolar
Biomedicine is a fascinating area and this is a great example of using the natural world to develop solutions that are super-hydrophobic and self cleaning: https://t.co/QjkkncSeGl @ScienceDaily@WNanoscience
Interesting use of a coating technique thus reducing the aggregation of silica nanoparticles - something we are very familiar with...https://t.co/VjCT3k4X7q @EC_Journal
More and more funding is going into the @3dprintindustry as this news from Carbon demonstrates - now worth $2.4bn - remarkable for a still-evolving technology. https://t.co/ntVogRb7B1 @All3DP
Our parent company, @OpusMatTech has worked with @GKNAero on other projects and this is positive news - the acceleration of industrial additive manufacturing around two of their initiatives, AIRLIFT and DAM. https://t.co/1rA0YuR5Np
There is still a lot of unease about autonomous vehicles but the technology is starting to demonstrate it's getting closer to potentially being our future. This is an interesting development that could change things: https://t.co/zrdbyo7js2 @BritishNano
With the G20 countries meeting this weekend the biggest question remains what is being actively done about climate change that can be implemented quickly? The Paris agreement is a step in the right direction but... @g20org
If this is scalable it could have a profound effect on the way in which we both create anti-fouling coatings and - more importantly - help clean up our oceans...https://t.co/gYvqTz2Ybr
