breathtaking:future applications of lreos , page-15

Hopefully there will be applications found that will not take too long to become accepted/useful ....at least IMO better to hsve a future with more potential uses than less.


I liked the following from the article

"The ceramic forms of rare earth oxides could be used either as coatings on various substrates, or in bulk form."


".... and these coatings can be fabricated using existing processes. This makes it amenable to retrofit existing facilities, Azimi says. Such extreme non-wetting properties coupled with durability could find applications in steam turbines and aircraft engines, for example.
