MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...

Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) represents a versatile and solvent‐free approach to fabricating polymer thin films with precise thickness control and conformality. By utilising gaseous precursors ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say their polymer coating could be used to protect photovoltaic modules, due to its impermeability to gases. The team has demonstrated that a ...

Because it's nearly impermeable to gases, the polymer coating could be used to protect solar panels, machinery, infrastructure, and more. (Nanowerk News) MIT researchers have developed a lightweight ...
