Smart Coatings Have Become Popular Among Several Industries Including Automotive and Aerospace Industry

 

Smart Coatings Market
Smart Coatings

Smart Coatings are polymer coatings that change their properties significantly in response to external stimuli. These include temperature, pH, moisture, surface contact, and so forth. Some of these properties may be beneficial, such as anti-icing. Others, such as self-healing or easy cleaning, may be undesirable.

Several types of smart coatings are being developed to address the needs of these end use industries, and they are also gaining widespread interest among researchers. These coatings can help improve efficiency in the system by reducing inspection times, maintenance costs and equipment downtime, and also provide protection against corrosion and other environmental conditions. One major challenge to the development of smart coatings is translating laboratory-proven concepts into practical coating systems. This is particularly true for reversible rearrangement of polymer structures that change surface properties.

Other challenges include health and safety regulations, the methods of application and cure regimes currently available, and cost constraints imposed on the target markets. Nevertheless, Jackson notes that the development of smart coatings has been fueled by advances in both polymer chemistry and technology. Along with improving performance, smart coatings can reduce maintenance costs and energy usage. These features are appealing to manufacturers and end-use customers alike, and they are driving growth in the industry.

These Smart Coatings are widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries as they are able to reduce the need for costly repairs. Moreover, these coatings provide better protection against abrasion and scratching. Increasing interest in autonomous vehicles has led to the need for functional coatings that can help prevent dirt, water droplets, frost, and salt from accumulating on camera lenses or LiDAR sensor windows. This can help maintain the reliability of these components and sensors, thereby enhancing the user experience.

This is an especially important issue for autonomous vehicles, which rely on these components to map and sense their surroundings, according to Peczonczyk. Thus, preventing the accumulation of these materials on these components can significantly increase their lifespan. In April 2021, AkzoNobel entered into collaboration with Qlayers, a startup and acquired a share in a novel industrial coating application technology.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...
