Protective ceramics

Glaze coatings (58) are appHed to dry or bisque-fired clay ceramics to form a strong, impermeable surface that is aesthetically pleasing. Protective ceramic coatings can also be deposited by CVD (68,90). Plasma activated CVD has been used extensively to produce diamond and diamondlike films. Diamond films can also be used to make optical coatings with a tailored refractive index. 

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. 

What actually occurs during these final preparation procedures can be inferred from resistance measurements taken on pellets within the furnace. A DC technique with current reversal was used for these measurements. Four platinum leads were attached to the pressed pellet sample with silver epoxy. The epoxy was covered with a layer of protective ceramic paste. (8) To compensate for induced thermal emf s, an average of the forward and reversed current directions was...

Another possibility of ceramic material application is the use of coatings and foams inside, for example, metallic microstructure devices. Here, well-known technologies such as CVD processes, sputtering, electrophoretic deposition, sol-gel methods in combination with spin coating, dip coating, or wash coating methods, or the use of anodic oxidation for aluminum-based devices will lead to either dense, protective ceramic coatings or porous layers used as catalyst support.
