Gel coating films comprising nanodiamonds organo-modified with 12-hydroxystearic (12-OHC ) and stearic acids were prepared and characterized. Because molecules with 12-OHC groups can convert solvents into thixotropic gels, Gemini-type diamide derivatives with two 12-OHC chains were also introduced as thixotropic additives into the gel coating films. Although the 12-OHC -modified nanodiamonds did not lead to solvent gelation on their own, they displayed an affinity for the thixotropic additive molecules. The 12-OHC -modified nanodiamonds were localized near the surface of the nanofibers formed by the Gemini-type diamide derivative in the solvent, and the thixotropic properties of the supramolecular gel were confirmed. Nanoparticle aggregation and nanofiber crystallinity were found to be suppressed by the effect of 12-OHC modification in the gel coating films, making them suitable for cosmetic coating applications.

High-nickel ternary LiNiCoMnO (NCM622) is a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high discharge-specific capacity and energy density. However, problems of NCM622 materials, such as unstable surface structure, lithium-nickel co-segregation, and intergranular cracking, led to a decrease in the cycling performance of the material and an inability to fully utilize high specific capacity. Surface coating was the primary approach to address these problems.

The widespread utilization of nail gels in the cosmetic and beauty industry, with an anticipated market value of US $65.8 Million by 2026, has raised concerns about health risks associated with conventional compositions containing monomeric acrylate reactive diluents. Technical challenges, such as oxygen inhibition leading to incomplete cure and hence tackiness after curing, further complicate their application process.

Facile Formation of Durable SiO-TiO Coatings on Plastic Films for Self-Cleaning and Antifogging.

Surface fogging affects the light transmittance of various transparent materials and poses potential safety hazards. Superhydrophilic TiO surfaces can effectively prevent fogging by promoting continuous water film formation; however, they often struggle to maintain stable hydrophilicity and adhesion on plastic films. Self-cleaning and antifogging coatings on plastic substrates are crucial for applications requiring long-term clarity and minimal maintenance costs.

Experimental and Computational Synthesis of TiO Sol-Gel Coatings.

Department of Physical Chemistry and Materials Science, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Műegyetem rkp. 3, 1111 Budapest, Hungary.

During the experimental formation of sol-gel coatings, the colloid dispersions go through a drying process, and the structure of the coatings is formed as a result of complex chemical, colloidal, and capillary interactions. While computer simulations provide guidelines to tune and even design the nanomaterials synthesis, simulations of coating structure formation are hitherto unknown in the literature. Based on real experiments, we establish here a ReaxFF reactive force field-based molecular dynamics simulation protocol in order to investigate and determine the role of the experimental conditions on the pore structure formation in the coatings.
