Question: You design coatings for aircraft carriers. Could your coatings be used in everyday products or things that I may already be using?

Hi, that is a good question. The type of coating used on the aircraft carrier is called Thermal spray it is used on a lot of products. For example jet engines, aircraft undercarriages, car parts, LPG cylinders, house balcony parts, bridges, biomedical implants and even film sets. It can also help manufacturing machinery, power generation equipment, and other products that we don’t see every day last longer and be more productive.
