The sol-gel method provides a wide variety of applications in the medical field. One these is formation coatings on metal implants. containing specific additive can enhance or improve existing surface properties substrate. In this work, titania were doped with two forms silver (AgNO3, Ag3PO4) and synthetic hydroxyapatite applied titanium samples by dip-coating technique. After drying slow firin...

to improve the corrosion protection of copper metal, 0.01m concentration of 1h-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (tat) was incorporated into the hybrid sol-gel monolayers containing 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (gptms) and tetraethoxysilane (teos). it was further subjected to hydrolysis and condensation reaction to form a sol-gel matrix. the tat-doped hybrid sol-gel coating was applied over the coppe...

The objective of the work was to prepare and characterize titania sol-gel coatings on non-porous titanium and newly developed titanium alloys. Basic titania sol contained two forms of silver. Titania sol without silver was used as a reference sample. Coatings were prepared by dip-coating technique during stirring and fired. Coatings after firing were characterized by scanning electron microscop...

Planar waveguides of SiO2:TiO2 (multilayer structure) and SiO2:CeO2 (thick layer) were prepared onto commercial glass substrates using a sol-gel technique combined with dip-coating. These glassy coatings were structural characterised by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis and by Confocal Microscopy. Thicknesses of 1230 nm and 4,15 μm and refractive indices of...

Nanocrystalline SnO2 thin films were successfully prepared using sol-gel dip coating technique. The starting precursor was used as tin chloride dihydrate (SnCl2.2H2O), ethanol and glycerin. As the prepared films were fired at 500 o C. These films were characterized using XRD, FESEM and TEM to known crystal structure, surface morphology and microstructure property. Elemental composition was stud...

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were prepared by the sol–gel dip-coating (SGDC) technique. The microstructure and electrical properties of ITO thin films crystallized using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) were compared with those of films prepared by classic thermal annealing (CTA). ITO thin films were successfully prepared by CTA at 500 jC for 30–60 min. At the same temperature of 500 jC and w...

Photo catalytic TiO2 coatings with well defined honeycomb structure were successfully self-assembled on glass substrates by a simple “dip and burn sol-gel method”. The crux of this new method is that the starting material for the sol-gel coating (the water solution of ammonium titanium citrate) was “doped” with “tea-leaf extracts”. Tea-leaf extracts were completely dissolved in the water soluti...

Uniform nanostructure coating of TiO2 was prepared on 316L stainless steel by sol-gel method using Tetra-n-Butyle Titanat (TBT) as alkoxide material. 316L specimens were coated with the mentioned sol by dip coating method. The influences of preparation condition, pH of sol on TiO2 nanostructure coating were investigated. Their structural properties were examined at var...
