True or False: A new method for creating four-component, titanium-based nanocomposite coatings used to protect gas turbine engines requires high temperatures to develop.

A research team from Northwestern University developed a sponge to clean polluted waters and can absorb ___ times its weight in oil.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission recently awarded a $125,000 grant for the development of a standardized method to characterize the release of nanoparticle-based coatings from various surfaces. Do you believe nanoparticle-based coatings will become more utilized the industry?

Researchers from Northwestern University have developed a sponge capable of cleaning up oil, microplastics and phosphate from polluted waterways. While studies have shown that paint flakes largely contribute to microplastic particles in the ocean, do you believe this technology is worth pursuing?

I understand that the EPA is reluctant to allow the use of nanoparticles in coatings, due to their tendency to persist in the environment. What is the real risk, and how can the nanocoating industry address it?
