MULTIFUNCTIONAL NANOCOATINGS
Design and development of new industrial functional coatings to improve
the surface performance on soft (polymer, textiles) and hard materials
(metals, ceramics)
Traditional coating
 food devices
o Low adhesion
 health care devices o One-function surface properties
 appliances
 textile industry
 transports Functionally graded
 fashion nanostructured coating
o Very high adhesion
 furniture o Multi-function surface properties
 space (hardness + chemical resistance +
mechanical adhesion, and more)
