Abstract: A material contains open pores in which the channels and pores that are internally coated with at least one layer of phosphorus-containing alumina. Such material is formed by infiltrating a porous material one or more times with a non-colloidal, low-viscosity liquid coating precursor, drying, and curing the coating precursor to form a phosphorus-containing alumina layer within pores of the material.

Abstract: Transport of a vaporizable liquid containing at least one solute through a material containing nanochannels is performed by contacting material with at least one vaporizable liquid component and inducing liquid transport along nanochannel interior wall surfaces, wherein the material contains nanochannels having an average diameter up to about 300 nm, preferably up to about 100 nm, and liquid transport is induced by partial liquid vaporization. A film of solid material is deposited onto an interior nanochannel wall surface by removing the transport liquid.

Abstract: An iron-containing metal surface, such as a brushed stainless steel, comprises a heat-set layer of a metal phosphate reaction product formed between a surface metal and phosphate precursor wherein the reaction product layer has an average thickness less than 2 micrometers. A metal surface, that resists retention of environmental stains or marks as well as resisting tarnish at elevated temperatures, is formed by forming a reaction product with the metal surface by heat setting a surface liquid layer containing a phosphate precursor such as a phosphate ester-containing solution or phosphoric acid solution, and optionally containing a phospho alumina precursor, onto the metal surface. An article coated in accordance with this invention is similar in appearance to a similar article without such a coating for maintaining original aesthetic properties.
