Advanced Nanomaterial Coatings

By HRL Laboratories LLC

MML is developing vehicle-scale functional polymers, coatings, and surface treatments that harness nanoscale physics while providing extreme environmental, thermal, and physical robustness required for exterior vehicle applications. We host a full capability for developing these coatings, from molecular-level design and synthesis to coupon-scale environmental and performance testing. We also utilize key external partners for maturation, production, and manufacturing. We employ economical precursors and methods and address important scalability & reliability issues. Typical applications include thermal, electrical, magnetic and optical control, anti-corrosion, and anti-fouling (including anti-icing).
