The objective of this study was to determine biocompatibility of zirconia-based coatings
obtained by the sol–gel method. Two matrices, ZrO2 and SiO2/ZrO2, were created and …

An experimental procedure to coat superelastic NiTi alloys with flexible TiO 2 protective
nanocomposite films using sol–gel technology was developed in this work to improve the …

This paper presents new results from XPS quantitative characterizations of cathode catalyst
layers aged in a PEMFC with an anode operated under pure hydrogen and air and with …

The corrosion behaviour of hybrid organic-inorganic coatings applied on carbon steel
embedded in carbonated ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and alkali-activated fly ash …

Multifunctional textiles have been widely investigated with antimicrobial, self-cleaning, UV-
protective properties, etc. Especially sol-gel coating doped with bioactive agents and special …

Sol–gel silica films were deposited on 316L and 409 stainless steel substrates in order to
investigate their wettability properties. These films were deposited by dip-coating varying …

The cleanability of material surfaces is cause for concern for a lot of industrial and domestic
applications. Here, we report on TiO2–SiO2 composite thin films deposited via a sol–gel …

Specific sol–gel formulations and protocols have been adapted to the fine patterning of TiO
2 films using a very simplified UVA three-step lithography method. Mechanisms occurring …

Rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) endodontic instruments were coated with a nanometric flexible
TiO 2 layer through dip-coating sol-gel. Control groups and coated samples of superelastic …

Titania is a versatile semiconductor widely used in many applications, including
photocatalysis. Among the processing routes used to prepare titania, the sol–gel process …
