Sol-gel coatings provide environmentally friendly surface protection for metals and can replace toxic pre-treatments such as those based on hexavalent chromium on metal alloys. This project ultimately aims to develop silica-based organic–inorganic sol-gel derived thin film coatings possessing anti-corrosion and anti-fouling properties on aluminium alloy substrates. As with any coating, sample preparation plays a significant role in the performance of a sol-gel coating. Therefore, it was necessary to define a preparation method that combines the removal of contaminants and surface roughening to improve adhesion and reproducibility. Four techniques were investigated: fine abrasive sandpaper cleaning, acetone degreasing only and cleaning with an industrial-available alkaline cleaner for 5 min and 30 min.

ABSTRACTTwo multi-component sol-gel compositions were developed and compared to several commercially available high-temperature glasses. All were then used and characterized as protective coatings for intermetallic titanium aluminide.The sol-gels were studied as thin film coatings and the commercial glasses were studied as enameled coatings. Attention was given to (1) the effect of the application temperature on the original microstructure of the metal, and (2) the role of interfacial conditions between the glass and metal in cyclic and isothermal thermal cycles between ambient temperature and 760°C (1400°F).

An enhanced sample preparation method for PIXE analysis is described allowing to separate and concentrate chromium ions of different valence in water samples. Cr 3+ ions are selectively adsorbed by ferric hydroxide colloids generated in the solution, and a PIXE target for analyzing the total concentration of chromium of hexavalent and trivalent states is prepared by depositing 0.15 ml of sample solution on a user-made thin polycarbonate film. PIXE analyses for the two kinds of targets reveal the fractions of chromium of different oxidation state. The standard method for collecting the colloids adsorbing Cr 3+ ions on Nuclepore filter of 0.2 μm pores is based on an investigation of the pH-dependence of the recovery of dissolved Cr 3+ ions and the calibration curve is measured. The prepared targets were examined for 5 to 10 minutes by 3 MeV proton beams (0.7-5 nA beam currents). The lower detection limit of chromium in a 25 ml aquatic sample is 1 ppb for the Cr 3+-precipitated targets and 3.4 ppb for the CrO 42--deposit targets based on the 3σ error of background counts integrated over the FWHM of chromium peak in the PIXE spectrum. The applicability of PIXE using these sample-preparation techniques for determining chromium oxidation states was confirmed using river water samples to which Cr 3+ and CrO 42- ions were added in 50 ppb concentrations.

Thin film coatings of (Ca0.6, Mg0.4)Zr4(PO4)6 (CMZP) on Si3N4, and SiC substrates, including porous SiC used in ceramic filters, were investigated using sol-gel and dip coating techniques. The coating thickness, ranging from 1 to 5 μm, was found to vary with the selected precursors and their concentrations in the solution. When applied to Si3N4 and SiC, CMZP coatings exhibit good thermal shock resistance and greatly improved alkali corrosion resistance. For porous silicon carbide, homogeneous, crack-free coatings were formed on both the outer surface and the interior sections of the pore walls. The CMZP coatings on Si3N4 and SiC exhibit good thermal shock resistance. The CMZP coating greatly improved the alkali corrosion resistance of Si3N4 and SiC.

This paper describes the preparation and compositional analysis of multilayer thin-film coatings prepared using sol-gel techniques. Alternate layers were labeled with an iron tag, derived from hydrolyzed 1,1'-bis(triethoxysilyl)ferrocene. Iron-free layers were composed of SiO2 derived from hydrolyzed tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). Analyses of these systems were based on Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) and Cross-Sectional Transmission Electron Microscopy (XTEM). The depth profile of iron, measured by RBS, yielded thicknesses (1000–1600 Å) for the individual layers that could be verified independently by XTEM.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted in which 2 different sample preparation techniques were used to determine alkaline phosphatase in casein by the rapid colorimetric test. Seven collaborators tested 10 unknown casein products containing different amounts of residual phosphatase. Results indicated that the phosphatase contents of casein prepared by the 2 methods were not significantly different. The collaborators correctly analyzed 100% of the test samples that were ground and 98 % of the test samples that were unground. The alternative rapid sample preparation method has been adopted official first action.
