Abstract: A film having a large thin layer, preferably of a nano-micrometer thickness, of at least one perovskite magnanite. A coating for blocking EMIs, in particular the directed energy pulses, said coating comprising at least one nanostructured perovskite manganite in an environmentally friendly carrier. A method of protecting a surface by applying coating having at least one perovskite manganite in an environmentally friendly carrier. A barrier coating having at least one perovskite manganite in an environmentally friendly carrier.

Abstract: An emulsion for preparing a low-conductivity surface for powder coating, the emulsion including an emulsified organofunctional silane solution. A pre-powder coating emulsion provides a surface with conductivity. A non-conductive object having applied to an exterior surface of the object the emulsion including an emulsified organofunctional silane solution.

Abstract: This invention encompasses methods and reagents for making PT, PZT, and PLZT as well as their extrinsic ions doped powders and thin films. In particular, the invention includes methods for localized laser annealing of PT, PZT, PLZT films to the surface of materials to provide articles useful in electronic devices such as high value capacitors, optical switches, wave guides, and the like. A 15-25% by weight of PT/PZT/PLZT in about a 5-10% acetic acid solution having an effective wetting agent of a surfactant has been found to be a superior isolation for making both powders and thin films, especially thin films for laser writing.

Abstract: An additive package can be used in a single-coat, in situ self-phosphatizing paint to provide a phosphate layer that inhibits corrosion of a surface on which the paint is applied. The additive package includes an amine and a phosphatizing reagent that can be an alkyl-, phenyl- or aryl- ester phosphoric acid or an alkyl-, phenyl- or aryl-phosphonic acid. The reagent and the amine are present in a ratio effective to produce reagent-amine complexes. A paint can include the additive package in addition to a polymer coat forming resin and a cross-linking agent.
