Oxide ceramic coating

New silicon oxide ceramic coatings based on hydrogensilsesquioxane are now finding applications as interlayer dielectrics in new generation of multilayer semiconducting devices. These materials have excellent gap filling characteristics, low dielectric constants and are relatively simple to apply [23],... 

Chemically, a glass surface, a quartz surface, a silicon surface with a natural silicon oxide layer, and an oxide ceramic coating surface are similar. Hence, the methods for bonding polymer microfluidic scaffolds to them are similar. For simplicity, in the following subchapters, the term glass stands for all these nonmetallic inorganic materials.

Oxide ceramic coatings based on Al, Ti, Cr Oxides or combinations, are used in hard press roll positions. The outstanding wear resistance of the ceramic surface as well as excellent sheet release make these coatings suitable for high speed paper machines. Due to the well defined porosity structure of the ceramic, a hydrophihc coating surface is created. This results in excellent sheet release and a low tendency for deposition of hydrophobic stiddes on the roll surface. The surface topography of the coating, an important factor for sheet release, is kept constant over its Hfetime, even under doctored conditions. 

The uses of boric oxide relate to its behavior as a flux, an acid catalyst, or a chemical iatermediate. The fluxing action of B2O2 is important ia preparing many types of glass, gla2es, frits, ceramic coatings, and porcelain enamels (qv). 

The second approach, that of surface coating, is more difficult, and that means more expensive. But it is often worth it. Hard, corrosion resistant layers of alloys rich in tungsten, cobalt, chromium or nickel can be sprayed onto surfaces, but a refinishing process is almost always necessary to restore the dimensional tolerances. Hard ceramic coatings such as AbO, Cr203, TiC, or TiN can be deposited by plasma methods and these not only give wear resistance but resistance to oxidation and... 

Good results are obtained with oxide-coated valve metals as anode materials. These electrically conducting ceramic coatings of p-conducting spinel-ferrite (e.g., cobalt, nickel and lithium ferrites) have very low consumption rates. Lithium ferrite has proved particularly effective because it possesses excellent adhesion on titanium and niobium [26]. In addition, doping the perovskite structure with monovalent lithium ions provides good electrical conductivity for anodic reactions. Anodes produced in this way are distributed under the trade name Lida [27]. The consumption rate in seawater is given as 10 g A ar and in fresh water is...

Dr. Hui has worked on various projects, including chemical sensors, solid oxide fuel cells, magnetic materials, gas separation membranes, nanostruc-tured materials, thin film fabrication, and protective coatings for metals. He has more than 80 research publications, one worldwide patent, and one U.S. patent (pending). He is currently leading and involved in several projects for the development of metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), ceramic nanomaterials as catalyst supports for high-temperature PEM fuel cells, protective ceramic coatings on metallic substrates, ceramic electrode materials for batteries, and ceramic proton conductors. Dr. Hui is also an active member of the Electrochemical Society and the American Ceramic Society. 

Boric oxide is used to produce many types of glass including low-sodium, continuous filaments for glass-belted tires, and fiberglass plastics. It also is used to make ceramic coatings, porcelain enamels and glazes. Also, the compound is used as an acid catalyst in organic synthesis and to prepare several other boron compounds.
