Sol-Gel Processing of Ceramics and Glass

NAVI MUMBAI, India - July 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Bharat Book Bureau presents the new report, on "Sol-Gel Processing of Ceramics and Glass". This report is directed to producers and users of materials and applications related to sol-gel processing.

INTRODUCTION

STUDY BACKGROUND

The term sol-gel was coined in the late 1800s. It generally refers to a low-temperature method (“sol” for solution) using chemical precursors that can produce ceramics and glass with higher purity and better homogeneity than high-temperature conventional processes. This process has been used to produce a wide range of compositions (mostly oxides) in various forms, including powders, fibers, coatings and thin films, monoliths and composites, and porous membranes. Organic/inorganic hybrids, in which a gel (usually silica) is impregnated with polymers or organic dyes to provide specific properties, also can be made.

One of the most attractive features of the sol-gel process is that it can produce compositions that cannot be created with conventional methods. Another benefit is that the mixing level of the solution is retained in the final product, often on the molecular scale.

The applications for  sol-gel-derived (https://www.bharatbook.com/materials-market-research-repo...) products are numerous. One of the largest application areas is for coatings and thin films used in electronic, optical and electro-optic components and devices such as substrates, capacitors, memory devices, infrared (IR) detectors and waveguides. Antireflection coatings also are used for automotive and architectural applications. Protective and decorative coatings have been developed as well for glass, metal and other types of substrates.

Powders of single- and multicomponent compositions can be made with submicron particle size for structural, electronic, dental and biomedical applications. Composite powders have been patented for use as agrochemicals or herbicides. Fibers also can be spun or drawn from precursor solutions or coated with thin films. Both optical and refractory fibers are used for fiber optic sensors and thermal insulation. In addition, sol-gel can be used to infiltrate fiber preforms to make composites. Abrasives, used in a variety of finishing processes, are made using a sol-gel type process.

A previous BCC Research report published in 2012 analyzed potential markets and applications. Since then the industry has continued to develop, as the demand for existing sol-gel applications has expanded and new applications have been commercialized.
