The mechanical properties of black thin film on glass substrates and metallic, obtained from the synthesis of organic-inorganic silica hybrids via sol-gel are described. Hybrid silica-based coatings with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), methyltrietoxysilane (MTES), polyurethane (PU) and commercial silica colloidal solution (Ludox HS30) as precursors, were used. The procedure is divided in the following three steps: 1) obtaining homogenous and stable solutions of different organic silica-polymer composition, 2) aggregation of the black pigment with the formulate FeMnOx, 3) Coating substrates by both dip-coating and aerograph airbrush, at room temperature. The films obtained were characterized by SEM, AFM and nano-indentation. The coatings of the Ludox-MTES-PU/FeMnOx system showed the better characteristics concerning the morphology and the adhesion to the glass and metallic copper substrates

Dip Coating Method

Sol–gel thin films containing Fe2O3 were deposited onto glass substrates by the dip-coating method at room temperature. Fe2O3 enriched with the isotope 57Fe was embedded in two kinds of matrices: zinc oxide (ZnO) and silica (SiO2). X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for morphology and structure determination of the nanostructures and showed that the ZnO exhibit a wurtzite form when the film is annealed at 450 °C for 20 min. SiO2 thin films at C16H33PEO20:Fe2O3 = 1:2.7 × 10−1 molar concentration exhibit a hexagonal nanophase produced by the diblock copolymer Brij58 (C16H33PEO20). Optical absorption and infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to evaluate the optical quality of the films. In order to determine if the Fe2O3 was incorporated into the matrices, room temperature Mössbauer spectra of both samples were obtained. In both cases the hematite spectrum was obtained, corroborating that the incorporation of the Fe2O3 to the matrices was done without chemical reaction whatsoever.

Results on the fabrication and characterisation of thin films of the novel host, titania ( TiO 2), for the Tb 3+ activator ion are reported. The titania films were produced by the sol-gel process at room temperature using the dip coating method and deposited on silicon and corning glass substrates. It is shown that a different surface morphology is developed for the TiO 2:Tb films deposited on different substrates. When enough amount of Tb is incorporated and, a He-Cd 325 nm photoexcitation is used as excitation line, the films show green photoluminescence (PL) signal associated with the 5 D 4→7 F j transition of the electronic structure of Tb 3+ plus an broad band due to matrix's defects. The PL emission has better characteristics for the films deposited on silicon wafers.

Trimethoxy Silane

Methyltrimethoxysilane has been used as a base in the formation of transparent sol-gel coatings on glass substrates. Several types of alcohol were used as solvents in order to obtain the highest transparency and scratch hardness of the film. The coating cures at room temperature (26∘C). The clarity of the coated film on the glass substrate was measured using haze meter. The best formulation based on the lowest haze values and light diffusion is the ratio of 1 : 1 trimethoxy silane to N-propanol. The haze value obtained for this system is 0.86, and the light diffusion was measured at 0.77%. Tack-free time and hardness were within acceptable value. Nanoparticles of silver, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide were incorporated into the coating system from 0.5% to 2.5% by weight, and the haze values of the dried film were measured. The highest transparency was obtained from the samples that were mixed with 0.5% silver. The haze value for this sample is of 0.5.

AbstractIn our investigation, V doped SiO2/TiO2 thin films were prepared on glass substrates by dip coating sol-gel technique. Chemical composition of the samples was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Transmittance of the samples was characterized using UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Subsequently band-gap energy (Eg) was estimated for these films. Powders obtained from sols were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. It was found that vanadium decreases optical band gap of SSiO2/TiO2 films.

Deposited Films

Thin films of TiO2 have been deposited on well cleaned glass substrates by Sol-Gel dip-drive coating technique. The films have been prepared at three different pH values (1, 3.5 & 9) of Sol and annealed in muffle furnace at 550°C for one hour and are allowed to cool to room temperature. The films were characterized by XRD, EDAX, SEM and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The as deposited films were found to be amorphous in nature. The annealed films exhibit anatase in crystalline structure. The EDAX results have shown that all the films are maintained with TiO2 in composition. The XRD results reveal that they are nano-crystalline in nature and the crystalline nature increases with pH of the Sol. The transmittance and absorbance spectra have shown that the films are transparent and band gap of the films are of the order of 3.2eV. The ab initio studies of TiO2 (using GGA) was performed with Vienna ab initio Simulation package and the band structure and effective masses of the electrons and holes were determined.

Dip Coating Method

ZnO thin films were deposited on the glass substrates via the sol-gel dip coating method. The films were annealed at various temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 550 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to investigate the effect of annealing temperature on the structural and morphology properties of the films. The as grown films exhibited amorphous pattern while annealed films were polycrystalline structure with (002) preferential growth along c-axis orientation. The AFM micrographs revealed that the RMS roughness of the films increased as the annealing temperature increased. The grain size was ranging from 32.1 nm to 176.0 nm as the annealing temperature increased from 350 °C to 450 °C and decreased to 56.1 nm for 550 °C.

Methylsilsesquioxane films were formed on glass substrates by dropping a sol prepared from methyltriethoxysilane and then heat-treated in an oven. Nanoindentation test was performed to assess the elastoplastic properties of the films, including the relative residual depth ξr, Meyer hardness HM, work-of-indentation WI and the elastic modulus E’. The values of ξr, HM and WI were obtained by a Berkovich indenter and E’ was determined by a spherical indenter on the basis of Hertz elastic theory. ξr decreased with the increase in the heat treatment time, whereas HM , WI and E’ significantly increased with the time. The changes in the mechanical properties with the heat treatment time well reflected the evolution of the Si-O-Si network structure in methylsilsequioxane film.

In The Beginning

Two kinds of colloidal silica(CS)/silane sol solutions were prepared. Two sol solutions are involved with the kinds of silane such as methyltrimethoxysilane(MTMS) and -Glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane(ETMS) using LS CS. MTMS was added to two sol solutions. Whether ETMS was added or not, two kinds of sol solutions were synthesized. Using two kinds of sol solutions, sol-gel coating films were formed on glass substrates via dip-coating process. Here, seasoning effect of for enhancing properties of sol-gel coating layer on glass was investigated while such sol-gel solutions were left for 7days. Also, their properties such as surface free energy, roughness, thermal property, potential hardness and elastic portion were characterized in order to understand the effect of addition of ETMS. In this case of LS/MTMS sol, the coating film had low surface free energy and more enhanced flat surface than that of the case of LS/MTMS/ETMS sol. ETMS forms hydrophilic hydroxyl group in sol solution, then surface free energy of LS/MTMS/ETMS coating film increased. In the beginning of reaction sol solution seemed to be unstable, but 4days later their coating film properties such as surface free energy and roughness enhanced. The elastic portion of coating films obtained from LS/MTMS/ETMS sol increased with addition of ETMS, but thermal stability decreased.
