Nano-Based Hydrophobic Coating Produced in Iran to Prolong Life of Different Materials
The product is a nanoparticle-containing hydrophobic coating, which can be applied to the surface of various materials, e.g., wood, metal, ceramic, etc., to preserve their original appearance and eliminate the need for regular washing.
The deposition of nanoparticle-containing hydrophobic coating on various materials has led to enhanced corrosion resistance, saving water resources by eliminating the need for regular washing, prolonged lifetime of component and economic efficiency.
The product can be used in car body and buildings facades.
In a relevant development in June, an Iranian company had also benefited from advantages of nanotechnology to produce hydrophobic light bulbs for outdoor places.
‘Gollnoor’ company has made the product which is a light bulb whose external surface is chemically modified to show a hydrophobic property. This feature has made the bulb self-cleaning with no pollutant able to settle down on it.
The creation of micrometric and nanoscale roughness on the external surface of the light bulb through functionalization has led to emergence of hydrophobic property on the external surface of the light bulb, considerable changes in chemical and physical interactions between the superficial areas and settling pollutants.
The hydrophobic light bulbs can be used in outdoor places and regions with a high level of air pollution.
