Smog-Eating Purple Skyscraper

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.

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?

Will newly developed nanomaterials like graphene revolutionize the protective coatings industry in the next 10 years?

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?
