Shellac is a natural resin used for the preservation of fruits, bones and as a coating on drugs. The hydroxyapatite (HA), which is naturally found in human bones, is used as filler to substitute amputated bone or as a ...

Tin oxide nanoparticles prepared by an aqueous sol-gel method were deposited by dip-coating on fluorozirconate glass, ZBLAN (53%ZrF4-20%BaF2-4%LaF3-3%AlF3-20%NaF) to improve its resistance against wet corrosion. The aqueous ...

The dip coating of a fiber of small radius is studied via a finite element solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. The coating speed is selected within the range corresponding to the visco-capillary and visco-inertial ...

A derivation of the sol-gel-dip-coating deposition technique is proposed, where the precursor solution exhibits two separated liquid phases, reaching an equilibrium state in a heterogeneous solution. Structural, optical ...

Fluorapatite (FA) layers with different thickness and microstructures on porous 3 mol% yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ) substrates have been fabricated by dipping porous zirconia tapes into aqueous fluorapatite ...

This work analyzes the deposition conditions of thin layers of γ-Al2O3 by dip-coating on a spherical substrate of α-Al2O3 spheres. Results showed that under controlled deposition conditions, a structured support of α-Al2O3 ...

A numerical investigation is carried out to study the effects of an insoluble surfactant on the dip coating of a flat substrate. Predictions of both the film thickness and the concentration of surfactant in the film as a ...

A significant part of film production by the coating industry is based on wet bench processes, where better understanding of their temporal dynamics could facilitate control and optimization. In this work, in situ laser ...

Ceramic layers based on calcium silicate non-substituted and substituted by Zn with different thickness, were developed by immersing porous Y-TZP disks into SiO2–CaO–ZnO–P2O5 glass suspensions with ZnO contents in the range ...
