Coating films alumina-based

Coated abrasives consist of a flexible backing on which films of adhesive hold a coating of abrasive grains. The backing may be paper, cloth, open-mesh cloth, vulcanized fiber (a specially treated cotton rag base paper), or any combination of these materials. The abrasives most generally used are fused aluminum oxide, sol-gel alumina, alnmina-zirconia. silicon carbide, garnet, emeiy, and flint. 

Permeation reduction factors of up to 10,000, or 10 , have been realized with the best coatings based on aluminized steels. Ferritic-martensitic steels that were aluminized had the Fe2Al5 phase predominant in the layer sequence, while a 316L steel had FeAlj and FeAl2 as the main aluminide phases. The best permeation barrier resulted from an external alumina film of about 1 micron in thickness grown on the aluminide layers. ... 

They also formed the condensed polynuclear aromatic (COPNA) resin film on a porous a-alumina support tube. Next, a pinhole-free CMSM was produced by carbonization at 400-1,000°C [29], The mesopores of the COPNA-based caibon membranes did not penetrate through the total thickness of each membrane and served as channels which increased permeances by linking the micropores. CMSMs produced using COPNA and BPDA-pp ODA polyimdes showed similar permeation properties even though they had different pore stractures. This suggests that the micropores are responsible for the permselectivities of the carbonized membrane. Besides that, Fuertes [30] used phenohc resin in conjunction with the dip coating technique to prepare adsorption-selective carbon membrane supported on ceramic tubular membranes. 

Nishizawa et al. [708] studied Li secondary batteries based on cathodes comprised of P(Py)-coated spinel LiMn204 nanotubules of ca. 200 nm outer diameter, prepared by thermal decomposition of an aqueous solution containing Li and Mn nitrates using a nanoporous alumina membrane as a template which was later dissolved off. These electrodes showed superior performance to P(Py)-coated LiMu204 thin films, with capacities claimed to be up to 12 times greater.
