Coatings with Natural Products—One Perspective on the Challenges Related to New Coatings’ Development

Replacement of Conventional Cheese Coatings by Natural Whey Protein Edible Coatings with Antimicrobial Activity

The present work assesses the efficacy of whey protein edible coatings with antimicrobial properties applied to ripened cheese as alternatives to commercial cheese coatings. Whey protein edible coatings were produced from ovine whey protein concentrate (WPC) with lactic acid and natamycin as antimicrobials. Two methods of coating polymerization were performed separately and in combination; the ...

New Techniques for Applying Coatings on Graphite

A reliable, easily worked process for depositing coherent, compact and pore-free layers of iridium could, when fully developed, be the means of making use as never before of the outstanding and indeed unique characteristics of iridium. Iridium has a very high melting point2443OC-aIId as a platinum group metal it does not scale or tarnish when heated in air even to incandescence. I t is true tha...

Improved CZE capabilities with new dynamic coatings.

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is one of the fundamental processes affecting both resolution and separation times in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). EOF is a function of pH and buffer composition (zeta potential) in bare-silica capillaries at any pH above 3 and runs in the cathodal direction, decreasing the effective separation length for cationic species. On the other hand, the absence of EOF...

New Trends in Decorative Coatings

ecorative coatings applied with D . . sputter ion plating processes have become a widely accepted application for vacuum technology. Although the deposition itself is only one important step among others, indusmal decorative applications require a reproducible and productive coating system. Leybold, as a system manufacturer, is featuring machines with a high level of up-time as well as an extra...
