The aim of this study was to develop a multifunctional biomedical coating that is highly corrosion resistant, biocompatible, and reveals the bioactive properties. For that purpose, titanium dioxide coatings doubly-doped with Ca and Ag ions were deposited by dip-coating onto M30NW biomedical steel. The influence of different ratios of Ca and Ag dopants on morphology, surface structure, corrosion resistance, bioactivity, wettability, and biological properties of TiO2-based sol-gel coatings was studied and discussed. Comprehensive measurements were performed including atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray reflectivity (XRR), corrosion tests, immersion test, contact angle, as well as biological evaluation. The obtained results confirmed that anatase-based coatings containing Ca and Ag ions, independently of their molar ratio in the coating, are anticorrosive, hydrophilic, and bioactive. The results of the biological evaluation indicated that investigated coatings are biocompatible and do not reduce the proliferation ability of the osteoblasts cells.

In this work, the titanium dioxide ([Formula: see text]) nanofilms co-doped with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions were successfully fabricated by the sol–gel method with dip-coating process. Methylene blue was used as the target degradation chemical to study the photocatalytic properties affected by different doping contents of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The results indicated that both pure [Formula: see text] nanofilms and single-doped samples possessed the photocatalytic activity in degradation of methylene blue. However, when the nanofilms co-doped with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions were fabricated at the molar ratio of 3:1 ([Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]), they exhibited the best photocatalytic activity after the heat treatment at [Formula: see text]C for 2[Formula: see text]h. The wettability property test indicated that the [Formula: see text] nanofilms co-doped with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions in the molar ratio 3:1 owned an excellent hydrophilic property.

AbstractThin films of pure barium titanate have been prepared by the sol-gel process from organomettalic sols containing titanium alkoxides and barium acetate (molar ratio [Ba]/[Ti]=l). It leads to transparent, homogeneous and adherent coatings. The influence of various parameters such as chemical concentration, viscosity, withdrawal speed and temperature of densification on film thickness is described. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction during their heat treatment. Their crystallization temperature was observed to be around 450°C. No variations in the optical properties were observed during the crystallization, and it occurred without the appearance of cracks or pinholes. Tetragonal BaTiO3 structure was observed, and the ferroeletric properties were investigated as functions of thickness and grain size.

AbstractHydroxyapatite (HA) nanospheres were synthesized via the sol-gel route in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The HA nanospheres were formed from the reaction between (NH4)2HPO4 and CaCl2 in ethanol/PVA sol-gel system, in which ammonia solution (NH3•H2O) was added to adjust the pH of solution. The as-synthesized products were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). XRD patterns and FTIR spectra showed that the HA nanospheres exhibit the crystalline structure and vibration bands of HA. The Ca/P molar ratio of HA nanospheres (50˜70nm) approached the stoichiometric value of 1.67, on the basis of EDAX results. Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) immersion test for three weeks demonstrated that the apatite layer can be formed on the HA nanospheres sintered at 550°C.

A continuous silica film with well aligned mesochannels parallel to the Si(001) surface was found to be formed through sol–gel dip-coating of a silica precursor with nonionic ethylene oxide surfactant. Two two-dimensional mesoporous structures in centered and non-centered rectangular symmetries and with the short axes of elongated ellipsoidal pores normal to the surface were observed by X-ray and electron diffraction. Detailed transmission electron microscopy investigations were employed to view the direction dependence of the channel or pore packing in the continuous film.

Tio2 Coatings

Within the framework of the study, TiO2 coatings were obtained by sol-gel method via dip-coating. For the films obtaining, manual drawing the substrate from the solution at a relatively high rate of 30 mm / min and automated drawing from the solution at low drawing rates (from 1 to 10 mm / min) were used. The morphology of coatings has been studied by scanning electron microscopy. The influence of the mode and the rate of drawing of the substrate from the solution on the films morphology was demonstrated. Analysis of the data showed, that the surface morphology of the coatings obtained at lower drawing rates by an automated method is much more homogeneous - the titanium dioxide films completely repeats the topography of the substrate surface, there are practically no fissures. Qualitative coatings of titanium dioxide, completely replicating the surface relief of the substrate, can be obtained by this method. Selection of the substrate drawing rate allows reducing the influence of the substrate topography and avoiding the appearance of crystallization centers, and as a consequence, the appearance of defects in the morphology of coatings, such as fissures or microparticles.

Xerogel Films

This work is devoted to the development of non-lithographic template methods of synthesis. These methods have a significant advantage in terms of structure formation: there is no need to design and produce masks, which greatly simplifies the process, and more of them can work with nonplanar substrates. The purpose of this study was to reveal the conditions for the synthesis of titanium dioxide xerogel films of different topologies as well as to develop a technique for non-lithographic template electrochemical synthesis of micron metal particles arrays and to study the structure of the resulting coatings. The films were deposited on the surface of substrates via dip coating. Specific topology of the films was achieved by template sol-gel synthesis. Their structures were analyzed by SEM and XRD. Template synthesis of metal micro particles were realized by pulsed electrochemical deposition of metals into the perforations of xerogel films. Obtained materials were analyzed by SEM and XRD; the element distribution on the surface was determined by the EDS detector of SEM. Based on the analysis results, we suggest the mechanisms of formation of the xerogel topology and proved the efficiency of pulsed electrodeposition for template synthesis of micron particles arrays.

ZrO2 thin films containing silver nanoparticles were prepared using the sol-gel method with Ag to Zr molar ratios [Ag]/[Zr] = 0.11, 0.25, 0.43, 0.67, 1.00, 1.50, and 2.33. After dip coating on glass substrate, coated films were annealed at 200 and 300 °C in air. X-ray diffraction peaks corresponding to crystalline Ag were observed, but a specific peak corresponding to ZrO2 was not observed. At the molar ratio [Ag]/[Zr] = 0.25, the particle size of Ag distributed broadly centered at 17 nm for an annealing temperature of 200 °C and at 25 nm for 300 °C. The films annealed in air at 200 °C showed an absorption band centered at 450 nm because of the silver surface plasmon resonance, whereas films heated at 300 °C in air caused a red shift of the absorption to 500 nm. The absorption peak was analyzed using the effective dielectric function of Ag-ZrO2 composite films modeled with the Maxwell-Garnett expression.

Abstract Quaternary semiconductor Cu2NiSnS4 thin film was made by the sol-gel method associated to dip-coating technique on ordinary glass substrates. In this paper, we have studied the impact of dip-coating cycle at different cycles: 4, 5 and 6 on the structural, compositional, morphological, optical and electrical characteristics. CNTS thin films have been analyzed by various characterization techniques including: X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman measurements, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS), UV-visible spectroscopy and four-point probe method. XRD spectra demonstrated the formation of cubic Cu2NiSnS4 with privileged orientation at (111) plane. Crystallite size of cubic CNTS thin films increase with from 6.30 to 9.52 with dip-coating cycle augmented. Raman scattering confirmed the existence of CNTS thin films by Raman vibrational mode positioned at 332 cm− 1. EDS investigations showed near-stoichiometry of CNTS sample deposited at 5 cycles. Scanning electron microscope showed uniform surface morphologies without any crack. UV-visible spectroscopy indicated that the optical absorption values are larger than 104 cm− 1, Estimated band gap energy of CNTS absorber layers decrease from 1.64 to 1.5 eV with dip-coating cycle increased. The electrical conductivity of CNTS thin films increase from 0.19 to 4.16 (Ω cm)-1. These characteristics are suitable for solar cells applications.

Doped Titanium Dioxide

Titanium dioxide has a special feature: anatase, to rutile transformation which was considered in our investigations. It is especially important to keep anatase form of titanium dioxide for photocatalytic materials, different ceramics with tribo-chemical properties, self-cleaning coatings and self-sterilizing coatings. For that only one of the titanium dioxide forms is more suitable – anatase, which is more active but not stable, because it transforms to rutile during the time or with the temperature increase loses its activity. Different methods of stabilising anatase have been considered in the paper. Several doping agents have been determined and it was chosen fluorine ion to modify titanium dioxide. Stabilization of anatase is achieved by preparing the reaction mixture by a sol-gel method with hydrofluoric acid. It has shown thermodynamic data, results of experiment, temperatures of anatase to rutile transformation of non-doped and doped titanium dioxide, its X-Ray diffraction and TGA. It is proved that titanium dioxide doped by fluorine ion keeps anatase form till the temperature is more than 1000 °C.
