Title: Smart-multifunctional
nano coatings
🧬 About the
Presentation
In
the fast-evolving world of materials science, Dr. Mamata Pradhan
is redefining the boundaries of surface engineering through the development of smart
multifunctional nano coatings. Her groundbreaking work
demonstrates how a simple dip-coating technique can lead to coatings
with exceptional
optical, mechanical, and self-cleaning properties — all
achieved through the intelligent design of nano-based materials.
🌟 Highlights of
the Research
·
Innovative Fabrication Process:
A straightforward
dip-coating method was used to create multifunctional coatings
on glass
and Ti-alloy surfaces — a scalable and industry-friendly
approach.
·
Next-Level Transparency and
Protection:
The coatings achieved an impressive 99.6% light transmittance at 364 nm and an overall
increase of 5.3%
across 360–800 nm, making them ideal for optical and solar
applications.
·
Superhydrophobic Self-Cleaning
Surfaces:
Through the combination of mesoporous silica (MSNPs) and titania
nanoparticles, the coatings reached a water contact
angle of 140°, enabling dirt and water repellence.
·
Unique Nano Architecture:
In-situ generated raspberry-like hierarchical particles provided
both high
light transmission and surface roughness, balancing optical clarity and
durability.
·
Mechanical & Thermal Strength:
Coatings demonstrated 5B adhesion, 3H hardness, strong
humidity
resistance, and thermal stability up to 250°C — ensuring longevity
in harsh environments.
·
Eco-Friendly and Scalable:
The technique is adaptable to low-temperature substrates, supports large-scale
manufacturing, and is viable for sustainable
industrial applications.
·
Additional Case Studies:
Other developments include heat-resistant coatings with low friction for
medical devices and scratch-resistant transparent coatings using alumina
nanoparticles derived from industrial waste (ESP dust)
— a major step toward green nanotechnology.
