Cold spray opens up new possibilities for industry: repairs, coatings and new components without heat. Find out how this fast, sustainable technique can boost your production.
Is there finally a bio-based, eco-friendly coating to replace PFAS? BIOSUPHYOL provides superior hydrophobic and oleophobic performance for paper and packaging.
Ultrashort pulse lasers can modify surfaces to give them new properties or functionalities such as friction, water repellency, anti-bacterial action or higher heat release. They offer many advantages ...
Removable coatings allow coated interior products to be reused several times, which will significantly extend their lifespan and ensure recyclable waste streams at end-of-life. The PEELDESIGN project ...
Researchers at Sirris demonstrate for first time femtosecond laser texturing of soft biopolymer coatings as a high-throughput method for surface patterning.
Innovation in manufacturing plays a key role in reducing the industry’s environmental impact. Recent advances in non-classical manufacturing technologies, such as ultrashort pulsed laser manufacturing ...
In recent years, considerable attention in surface engineering research has been directed towards superhydrophobic surfaces - surfaces that exhibit extremely high resistance to wetting by water. In this context, new technologies such as femtosecond laser texturing have opened up the possibility to mimic surface structures from the natural world.
Friction and wear play a major role in modern society. The operation of many mechanical systems, including vehicles, machines and consumer goods directly depends on appropriate friction and wear ...
An innovative, plasmonic paint system uses nanoparticles to create structural colours without the need for multiple pigments. This system, which needs less product and is more colour stable, is also ...
Coated paper-based packaging has an important role to play in the transition to a circular economy. The extent to which these materials can be recycled is a key factor in further increasing their ...
The new project BeFORE - Barrier for recycling - in which Sirris is involved, focuses on recyclable material innovations for ’contact sensitive’ plastic and paper packaging with high quality barrier ...
