Nano-carbon Coatings by Electrophoretic Technologies
Lead Participant:
DZP TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
Abstract
This is a collaborative project which will integrate nano-carbon materials with electrophoretic deposition (EPD)
to create a truly unique coatings technology which meets today’s critical challenges of the coatings industry.
The new EPD technology will use aqueous colloidal electrolytes which are compliant with stringent REACH
regulations and eliminate the use of toxic solvents and materials. Additionally, the new technology will enable
the uniform and controlled coating of graphene nano-carbons on complex 3D and internal shapes, by means of
digital modelling and simulation, which is currently impossible to achieve by other methods. The obtained
nano-carbon coatings will be studied for their anti-corrosion properties, and in future may find further
applications as thermal and conductive coatings, as well as energy storage components. The project will
demonstrate the new technology in both laboratory and industrial environment.
