Design, Development and Application of Nanocoatings

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanomaterials and Their Applications

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 84))

Abstract

Coatings can be defined as the application of one material on the other material usually known as substrate. They are mainly applied on the material to protect it from any degradation which occurs due to environmental conditions. They act as an interface between the substrate and the environment. Moreover, they are also used for decorative purposes. Nanocoatings are those coatings in which the size of a particle is in the range of 1–1000 nm at least in one dimension. Nanocoatings provide more wear resistance attributed to its higher toughness and hardness to the substrate as compared to other conventional coatings. They also provide antimicrobial, wrinkle resistance, stain resistance, hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics, UV protection and antistatic properties affecting the bulk properties of the substrate material. Nanocoatings can be manufactured by mainly two methods: vapour phase method and liquid phase method. Vapour phase method includes chemical vapour deposition, laser ablation, vapour condensation, plasma arc and flame synthesis processes. Liquid phase method includes sol–gel, precipitation, electrolysis, microemulsion and hydrothermal processes. Nanocoatings are used in aircraft (landing gears and engines), industrial rolls, hydraulic shafts, boiler tubes, turbines and pumps to prevent corrosion and erosion problems. They are also used on cars, pens, watches and cosmetics for decorative purposes. Nanocoatings are used on money bills so as to prevent forgery. This chapter discusses in detail about the nanocoatings. Efforts have also been made to summarize the various processing techniques for their fabrication. Effect of nanocoatings on structural, mechanical and corrosion behaviour is also discussed. It is expected that the present chapter will be useful in designing and developing nanocoatings for wide industrial applications.
