ABSTRACT
Current approaches to coat aluminum surfaces that use paints and organic coatings to protect them from corrosion and provide an aesthetic finish, are also energy intensive and involve high emissions of VOCs. The use of these coatings is becoming increasingly restricted by global efforts towards more environmentally sustainable surface finishing technologies. A recent development based on porous anodized aluminum (PAA) and metal nanowire deposits is presented here, which may become a competitive alternative to paint and organic coatings. Anodizing and electrodeposition do not emit VOCs and are less energy intensive. By controlling the conditions for anodizing and metal electrodeposition, coatings in a wide spectrum of colors can be produced, including greys, black, blues, purples and greens. Characterization of the coating morphologies and corresponding colors agrees with simulated results based on the Fresnel equations and Bruggeman Mixed Media Approximations.
ATLANTA, GA - The first residents of Seven88 West Midtown – a luxury high-rise condominium designed by Goode Van Slyke Architecture (GVSA) – have moved into the elegant 22-level community. Seven88, developed by McKinley Homes, was completed late last year. It features 18 floors of residences including luxurious penthouses with balconies and fireplaces – atop four controlled-access parking levels. Each of the 279 residences has energy-efficient floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views including downtown and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“We don’t believe in cookie-cutter projects, so everything about the site, design and living experience is unique,” said partner Paul Van Slyke. “Seven88 West Midtown is a great example of what we do.”

Jeremiah Crow, right, pauses with his business partner, A.J. Carson, at a Benton Boulevard house they are transforming into a duplex.
The nonprofit, started by a group of Black business owners to help others gain access to capital, has been a boon for small businesses suffering from the economic toll of the coronavirus.
Jeremiah Crow was released from prison about five years ago after serving a five-year stretch for robbery, hoping to use some of the electrical wiring skills he learned in confinement to get a job.
But employers were wary of hiring an ex-felon. So with the odds stacked against him, Crow struck out on his own, doing residential handyman jobs like wiring, painting and remodeling.

Jeremiah Crow was released from prison about five years ago after serving a five-year stretch for robbery, hoping to use some of the electrical wiring skills he learned in confinement to get a job.
But employers were wary of hiring an ex-felon. So with the odds stacked against him, Crow struck out on his own, doing residential handyman jobs like wiring, painting and remodeling.
He made it a point to hire other ex-felons and through word of mouth business began to pick up.
Still, his business, KC Maintenance & Remodel, could have used a little help a boost especially important in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. In November, that help came in the form of a $10,000 grant from a nonprofit called G.I.F.T. that was formed last year.
