NASF Bright Design Challenge Kicks Off Jan. 16

As part of the "NASF Surface Technology Initiative" to promote the vital role of surface finishing in society, the 2013 NASF Bright Design Challenge is right around the corner.

Kick off in Detroit is scheduled for January 16. The event is timed perfectly for the Detroit Auto Show, and the NASF Board will also be meeting in town to fully support the event.

Polaris North America, manufacturer of ATVs, Motorcycles and Snowmobiles, will be our partner along with the Detroit-based College for Creative Studies.

The Bright Design Challenge Scholarship Program is fully supported and funded by NASF and its members. Other sponsors include Atotech, Coventya, Enthone, Macdermid and Uyemura.

For sponsorship information, please contact Cheryl Clark at cclark@nasf.org to get involved in the program.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 12th Quarterly Report

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the 12th quarter of project work (October – December 2023) at the University of Georgia. In our previous report, we described our work on performance and effect of surface fluorinated Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation in reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) mode. This quarter, our experiments involved utilizing porous Ti4O7 plates serving both as anodes and membranes. Tests compared pristine and F-18.6 Ti4O7 anodes at current densities of 10 mA/cm2 and 40 mA/cm2. This 12th quarterly report discusses the mechanisms of the effects on EO performance by anode surface fluorination.
