Dear PSCT Members,
Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season.
I want to thank our November speaker, Jana Shafer from Vibrantz Technologies. She gave a very interesting presentation on how coatings evolved and Vibrantz’s innovative colorant systems.
Twelve PSCT members, family, and friends shared a fun filled evening at the Bocce House in RIDC – O’Hara in December. They enjoyed 90 minutes of Bocce while snacking on a nice variety of food and drinks.
Our January meeting will be held at Roland’s in the Strip on January 12, 2026, at 6:00PM. Mike Dvorchak from Dvorchak Enterprises, LLC will speak on UV Cure ’Shark Skin bio-mimicking’ Antimicrobial surfaces for Autonomous Vehicles. These surfaces are naturally antimicrobial without the use of added toxic substance. Future ride-hailing AVs are expected to have rapid ‘turn around’ after every use that should result in a microbial-free ‘touch surface’. AVs are expected to grow dramatically in the next 5 years as ride-hailing options replace traditional taxi and Uber style of conveyance. In addition, the presentation will discuss how coatings with anti-biofouling properties find use in hospitals and medical implants.
As a reminder, if you know if anyone eligible for the PSCT scholarship please remind them to check our website for information.
I hope to see you at the meeting.
Kim Wilson
