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 over conventional coatings and their application potential seems endless.

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 is investigating and optimising such coatings so that they can be used for interior applications, as ...

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, open doors to new opportunities, reconciling cost considerations and environmental impact. Sirris ...

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 ...
