Silica-copper oxide (silica-CuO) composite thin films were prepared by a dipping sol-gel route using ethanolic solutions comprised TEOS and a copper-propionate complex. Sols with different TEOS/Cu-propionate (Si/Cu) molar ratios were prepared and applied on stainless steel substrates using dipping process. During the annealing process, copper-propionate complexes developed into particulate polycrystalline CuO dispersed in a partially crystallized silica matrix, as indicated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The gel thermal analysis revealed that the prepared material might be stable up to400°C. The silica-CuO/stainless steel system was characterized as a selective absorber surface and its solar selectivity parameters, absorptance (α), and emittance (ε) were evaluated from UV-NIR reflectance data. The solar parameters of such a system were mostly affected by the thickness and phase composition of theSiO2-CuO film. Interestingly, the best solar parameters (α= 0.92 andε= 0.2) were associated to the thinnest films, which comprised a CuO-Cu2Omixture immersed in the silica matrix, as indicated by XPS.

ABSTRACTThe planarizing ability of sol-gel films was investigated on several as-rolled stainless steel substrates. The smoothing effect afforded by the films was evaluated, using optical techniques, following deposition of silver over the planarized substrates. The specular reflectance of various substrates, initially ranging from 0.36 to 0.90, could be improved to final reflectance values of -0.93 with sol-gel processing. This process is being used to prepare prototype foil mirrors for evaluation in the next generation of solar concentrators.

ABSTRACTAISI 316L stainless steel substrates were coated with hydroxyapatite [HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2]-seeded 58S bioglass, and then their in vitro bioactivity was evaluated by soaking in a simulated body fluid (SBF). The bioglass was prepared via the sol-gel technique and nanometric HAp single crystals were obtained by hydrothermal synthesis. The coatings had bioglass/HAp weight ratios of 100/0, 90/10 or 80/20. The in vitro bioactivity tests were carried out under static conditions at 37 °C and pH = 7.25, for time periods ranging from 1 to 21 days. The results showed that the HAp-seeding significantly accelerates the formation of a HAp layer at the bioglass-coated steel surface during the bioactivity tests.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric 0.7BiFeO3-0.3PbTiO3 (BFO-PT) films were deposited on stainless steel substrates by the sol-gel method. A thin layer of PbTiO3 (PT) was introduced between the substrates and BFO-PT films in order to decrease the annealing temperature of BFO-PT films. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that BFO-PT films could be well crystallized into the perovskite structure at about 575 oC. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images show that BFO-PT thin films have grain size of about 50∼60 nm. Our results indicated BFO-PT films deposited on stainless steel substrates maintained the excellent ferroelectric properties with remnant polarization of about 40∼50 μC/cm2.

Sol-gel derived calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2; CHA) thin films were deposited on stainless steel substrates with transverse and longitudinal patterned roughness employing a spin-coating technique. Each layer in the preparation of CHA multilayers was separately annealed at 850 °C in air. Fabricated CHA coatings were placed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 2, 3, and 4 weeks and investigated after withdrawal. For the evaluation of obtained and treated with SBF coatings, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Raman spectroscopy, XPS spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, and contact angle measurements were used. The tribological properties of the CHA coatings were also investigated in this study.

Solid solutions of Ba 1-x Sr x TiO 3 (BST) type are very attractive for application in information technology, but also in microwaves for such electrically controlled devices as phase shifters, tunable filters, steerable antennas, varactors, etc. In the present study thin films of a BST solid solution with x = 0.4 (BST60/40) were prepared by the sol–gel-type chemical solution deposition method. The influence of y = 1, 3 and 5 mol.% MgO doping on synthesis of BST60/40 thin films was studied. Thermal analysis both differential and thermogravimetric were used to determine the thermochemical properties of dried BST60/40– MgO gel powders. A multilayer spin-coating approach was utilized for the Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3–MgO thin film deposition on stainless steel substrates. X-ray diffraction analysis, SEM and EDS were utilized for thin film characterization in terms of its crystalline structure, microstructure and chemical composition. Raman spectroscopy investigation of MgO -doped Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 thin films grown on stainless steel substrates were also performed within the wavenumber range k = 40–1070 cm-1.
