Advanced thin-layer coating for superior UV resistance in polymers
Researcher: Assoc. Prof. Tamar Segal-Peretz
Plastics are highly susceptible to UV radiation, leading to degradation, reduced lifespan, discoloration and frequent replacements. Traditional solutions, such as UV stabilizers, absorbers, antioxidants, and thick coatings, often come with limitations—altering mechanical properties, requiring chemical compatibility, or relying on heavily...
