  • Patent number: 6013318
    Abstract: A method for applying coatings to substrates using combustion chemical vapor deposition by mixing together a reagent and a carrier solution to form a reagent mixture, igniting the reagent mixture to create a flame, or flowing the reagent mixture through a plasma torch, in which the reagent is at least partially vaporized into a vapor phase, and contacting the vapor phase of the reagent to a substrate resulting in the deposition, at least in part from the vapor phase, of a coating of the reagent which can be controlled so as to have a preferred orientation on the substrate, and an apparatus to accomplish this method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 1998
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2000
    Assignee: Georgia Tech Research Corporation
    Inventors: Andrew T. Hunt, Joe K. Cochran, William Brent Carter
  • Patent number: 5863604
    Abstract: A method for applying coatings to substrates using combustion chemical vapor deposition by mixing together a reagent and a carrier solution to form a reagent mixture, igniting the reagent mixture to create a flame, or flowing the reagent mixture through a plasma torch, in which majority of the reagent is vaporized into a vapor phase, and contacting the vapor phase of the reagent to a substrate resulting in the deposition, at least in part from the vapor phase, of a coating of the reagent which can be controlled so as to have a preferred orientation on the substrate.

    Date of Patent: January 26, 1999
    Assignee: Georgia Tech Research Corp.
    Inventors: Andrew T. Hunt, Joe K. Cochran, William Brent Carter
