  • Process for structuring self-cleaning glass surfaces
    Publication number: 20060246297
    Abstract: A plasma spray process for structuring self-cleaning glass surfaces and self-cleaning glass surfaces formed according to the process. Molten or heat softened particles of inorganic material are plasma spray deposited onto the surface of a substrate to create a micro-rough surface. If desired, a hydrophobic top coating layer can optionally be applied to the micro-rough surface. The micro-structured surface formed according to the invention is durable and self-cleaning.

  • Rare earth-transition metal oxide pigments
    Patent number: 6582814
    Abstract: Rare earth-transition metal oxides are used as pigments. The rare earth-transition metal oxide pigments are preferably of the formula (RexTm)Oy, where Re is at least one rare earth element, Tm is at least one transition metal, x ranges from 0.08 to 12, and y ranges from x+1 to 2x+2. The pigments are useful as colorants, and possess good stability.
