Thermal spraying of polymer coatings has been applied for many decades. Initially, the
focus was primarily on corrosion and wear protection. Manufacturing was performed with …

The cold spray process is governed by the impact of high velocity feedstock particles onto a
substrate without melting. Hence, the bulk material properties are retained. However, it is …

Cold Spray (CS) is a deposition process, part of the thermal spray family. In this method,
powder particles are accelerated at supersonic speed within a nozzle; impacts against a …

Using the laser-induced projectile impact testing (LIPIT), the extreme plastic and adhesive
responses of polystyrene-polydimethylsiloxane block copolymer (BCP) microparticles are …

There is an increasing need for ice protection systems that do not require complex
manufacturing considerations or are energy intensive. Fluorinated polymer coatings are …

To increase the lifetime of metallic molds and protect their surface from wear, a fluorinated
ethylene propylene (FEP) polymer was coated onto a stainless-steel (SS304) substrate …

Most reports simulating in-flight particle temperatures in polymer cold spray ignore intra-
particle thermal gradients that develop in-flight, and, to date, no research group has …

Coating design is an efficient strategy to engineer wettability of surfaces and adjustment of
the functionality to the necessities in industrial sectors. The current study reveals the …

High particle temperature and low particle velocity are required to successfully deposit
polymer particles by cold spray process. To increase the particle temperature, a solution is to …

Fluoropolymers have gained significant recognition mainly for their inertness, making them
highly desirable for applications requiring corrosion protection and hydrophobicity …
