Abstract: To significantly improve the tribological performance of epoxy resin (EP), a novel h-BN/MoS2 composite was successfully synthesized using spherical MoS2 particles with lamellar self-assembly generated through the calcination method, followed by utilizing the “bridging effect” of a silane coupling agent to achieve a uniform and vertically oriented decoration of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets on the MoS2 surface. The chemical composition and microstructure of[...]
Our summary: A novel h-BN/MoS2 composite was synthesized to enhance the tribological performance of epoxy resin. The uniform decoration of h-BN enhances the chemical stability of MoS2, resulting in significantly reduced friction coefficient and wear rate in EP coatings.

Photocatalytically Induced Degradation of Nano-TiO2-Modified Paint Coatings Under Low-Radiation Conditions
Published on 2025-02-27 by Maciej Kalinowski, Karol Chilmon, Justyna Kuziak, Pawe? ?ukowski, Wioletta Jackiewicz-Rek @MDPI
Abstract: Photocatalytic coatings incorporating nano-TiO2 have emerged as effective solutions for air purification, utilizing solar radiation to degrade airborne pollutants. However, the long-term stability of such coatings, particularly those based on organic binders, remains a concern due to their susceptibility to photocatalytic-driven degradation. This study investigates the effects of low-intensity UV-A irradiation (1–10 W/m2) on acrylic-based photocatalytic coatings’ stru[...]

Electrical Property Measurement on Antistatic Coating During Aging Process
Published on 2025-02-22 by Jaroslav D�mura, Jaroslav Petr�, Anna Guzanov�, Andrea Kalendov� @MDPI
Abstract: This paper deals with one of the methods for protecting against an electrostatic charge by using a conductive coating. We focus on methyl-silicone resin with the addition of a conductive polymer. The individual electrical parameters of these coatings are studied because these parameters determine the ability of charge leakage. The purpose of this study was to find out if the coating would change its electrical parameters after some time and if the antistatic protection purpose of the coating wou[...]
Our summary: This paper investigates the changes in electrical parameters of antistatic coatings, specifically focusing on methyl-silicone resin with conductive polymer.
