Nanocoating Prevents Greasy Smears

NANOTECHNOLOGY 07.03.2019 21:31 PM

Not only are fingerprints on shiny stainless-steel surfaces unattractive, but they also attack the surface. A new nanocoating that is being developed by Fraunhofer researchers will prevent the smudges that result from a finger touching stainless steel surfaces. The key to their approach is a special nanoparticle that is added to the coating.
