Sonochemistry is typically employed for the synthesis of nanomaterials and surface functionalization, i.e., increasing the accessible surface area for processing. The sonochemical coating is an innovative, eco-friendly, low-velocity spray coating that produces homogeneous, protective, and functional micron-thin coatings without clogging. Sonochemical coatings are manufactured using ultrasonic processing. When bubbles are monitored by ultrasonic processing, chemiluminescence has been widely used in acoustic cavitation. During the manufacturing of paints and high-performance coatings, ultrasonic processing is utilized to disperse, de-agglomerate, and grind pigment particles into nanoparticles. These pigments, which are typically granules of metal oxide, impart color when dispersed in the proper media. The size of these pigments is a crucial aspect in determining the final finish's qualities. Sonochemical coatings lower the particle size to guarantee uniformity.
Increased demand from the construction industry
"Hospital-acquired infections" or "HAIs" refer to infections that patients contract while receiving treatment in a hospital. They are transmitted through direct physical contact with a contaminated surface or element, such as the skin, aerosols, shared instruments, hospital furnishings, or hospital fabrics. Additionally, they can spread through indirect contact with a contaminated surface or component. An increase in the use of sonochemical coatings on medical equipment has been attributed to a greater awareness of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and government measures to prevent the spread of these infections. Globally, infectious illnesses caused by HAIs are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity.
According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, approximately 1.7 million patients in the United States contract HAIs annually. Nearly 100,000 of these 1,7 million patients die as a result of their infections, while many more patients seek medical treatment. There are a lot of medical devices that serve as a breeding ground for bacteria, and it is quite difficult to eliminate these germs with conventional disinfectants. As a precautionary measure, numerous manufacturers of medical equipment and healthcare facilities have begun applying antimicrobial coatings to a variety of products. In addition, the governments of several European and North American countries have coordinated their respective efforts to reduce the spread of HAIs. In October 2016, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) presented the National Action Plan to eliminate healthcare-associated infections in acute care hospitals globally.
A rise in the demand for electronic devices is expected to contribute to the expansion of the sonochemical coatings market during the forecast period. Sonochemical coatings offer excellent moisture resistance and prevent the production of pathogenic microorganisms such as algae, bacteria, and fungi; they also restrict the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. Plastics coated with antimicrobial compounds have a longer functional lifespan because the chemicals inhibit the growth of bacteria which can cause the plastics to degrade faster. The usage of these compounds renders polymers more durable, corrosion-resistant, odorless, and suitable for a variety of medicinal, electrical, and automotive applications.
The vast majority of sonochemical coatings are based on solvents. As a result of the introduction of stringent restrictions against volatile organic compounds, however, the price of solvents is increasing dramatically. Moreover, a large number of nations are undergoing a "green industrial revolution" to battle the consequences of global warming and reach net zero by 2050. Catalytic sonochemistry for the synthesis of clean hydrogen from sustainable ammonia and water-based coatings is gaining popularity as a direct result. Ultrasonic processing makes it easier to emulsify the polymers used in these coatings. Typically, nanoparticles utilized in sonochemical coatings aggregate during the mixing process. With ultrasonic processing, these particles can be more effectively dispersed and deagglomerated. It can be utilized in liquids with a high viscosity as well as liquids with a high solids content. Thus, the growing demand for environment-friendly solutions is driving market expansion.
It has been observed that solvent-based sonochemical coatings are composed of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Recent research indicates that the production of these VOCs is damaging to the environment, consequently limiting the global demand increase for solvent-based sonochemical coatings. Also, federal, state, and local governments throughout the world have been controlling VOC emissions by setting emission limits for a unit time period, so preventing end-users from favoring solvent-borne coatings and restricting their market expansion. In the United States, for instance, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established federal regulations for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, and some states have enacted even stricter emission standards, which have a negative impact on market growth.
The global market for sonochemical coatings is dominated by a small number of medium-sized companies that hold the great majority of the market share.
