... nano zirconia-based barrier coating on copper. ZrO₂ was prepared by sol-gel method and further hydrophobically modified. The nano zirconia was characterised by particle size analysis and transmission electron microscopy. Morphological characteristics of the coated surface were analysed...

... of TiO₂-SiO₂ sol-gel coating. This sol-gel coating has been prepared on aluminum alloy substrate using graphene as both nano-filler and corrosion inhibitor. Design/methodology/approach To examine the effect of graphene on mechanical properties of sol-gel coating, the abrasion resistance...

...Jiao Li; Tianshu Li; Jodie A. Yuwono; Guozhe Meng; Zhiyuan Feng Purpose This study aims to develop a sol-gel-based coating to provide a long-lasting corrosion protection on AZ31 Mg alloy. Silane-based sol-gel coatings have been successfully applied to Mg alloys for corrosion protection. However...

...Dongdong Peng; Kang Huang; Yuntao He; Zhan Zhang; Yi Wang; Junsheng Wu Purpose This paper aims to improve the anti-corrosive properties of aluminum alloy AA2024-T3 by coating of hybrid sol-gel coating incorporated with TiO₂ nanosheets and to investigate the effect of nanosheets’ size...

...Sebahattin Kirtay Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the corrosion resistance of SiO₂-Al₂O₃ coating on mild steel. Design/methodology/approach SiO₂-Al₂O₃ was coated using sol-gel method, and electrochemical...

... development at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York, which could reportedly save the US aircraft and aluminium smelting industries billions of dollars annually. Both coatings are produced by means of a sol-gel pyrolysis process, which is said to be less expensive and more environmentally friendly...
