Spherical silica surface functionalization: NaturaRecent Research Landscape

Surface degradation from corrosion and biofouling increases maintenance downtime and fuel costs. These innovations utilize phase-separated amorphous structures and responsive chemical triggers to enable autonomous surface repair and active protection.

What technical problems is Natura addressing in Spherical silica surface functionalization?

Interfacial bonding failure

(12)evidences

Insufficient charge carrier separation and limited surface area in standard titanium and carbon composites. Overcoming these bottlenecks increases reaction rates and chemical sensitivity.

Surface degradation and instability

(6)evidences

Substrate vulnerability to thermal decomposition and chemical oxidation. Mitigating these failure modes extends material lifespan in hazardous environments.

Chemical degradation and corrosion

(4)evidences

Low solubility and phase separation of active additives in liquid carriers. Improving dispersion prevents precipitation and ensures uniform performance in chemical applications.
