Abstract: A substrate having an anti-adhesive coating thereon. The coating is made from a coating composition comprising solid particles of a release agent different from boron nitride and a binder comprising surface-modified nanoscale solid particles.

Abstract: A method for producing a ceramic coating of metallic and/or ceramic surfaces and products in reactors, process plants and combustion plants includes applying a mixture of fine-particle boron nitride, at least one inorganic binding agent of medium particle size in the nanometer range, containing substantially Al2O3, AlO(OH), ZrO2, Y—ZrO2, TiO2, Fe2O3 and/or SnO2 or an associated precursor compound and at least one solvent and/or water onto a metallic and/or ceramic surfaces or product, and burning the applied mixture into a coating through heating.

Abstract: The invention relates to corrosion-resistant, temperature-stable, durable mould release layers, suitable for the die casting of non-ferrous metals, comprising boron nitride and slips for production thereof, a method for production of the slips, a method for production of the mould release layers and the use of the mould release layers.

Abstract: A process is described for producing a conductive sintered body based on silicon carbide, in which a) silicon carbide particles, optionally pretreated with a surface modifier, are dispersed in an aqueous and/or organic medium and positive or negative surface charges are generated on the silicon carbide particles by adjustment of the pH of the dispersion obtained; b) carbon black and boron carbide are mixed in as sintering aids, where at least the carbon black particles have a surface charge opposite to the surface charge of the silicon carbide particles and the boron carbide can also be added, completely or in part, at a later point in time (stage c′)); c) the slip thus obtained is shaped directly to form a green body or c′) a sinterable powder is isolated from the slip obtained and is shaped to form a green body, where the above boron carbide can also be added to this sinterable powder; and d) the green body obtained is subjected to pressureless sintering to form a sintered body in essential

Abstract: TiN sintered bodies and coatings are produced by dispersing nanocrystalline TiN powder in water and/or a polar organic solvent as dispersing agent in the presence of at least one low molecular organic compound having at least one functional group which can react or interact with groups on the surface of the powder particles, removing the dispersing agent and sintering the surface-modified TiN which has been processed into green bodies or coatings before or after the removal of the dispersing agent.

Abstract: Metal and ceramic sintered bodies and coatings are produced using a combination of:(a) nanocrystalline metal or ceramic powder wherein less than 1% of the individual particles have a deviation of more than 40%, and no individual particles have a deviation of more than 60%, from the average grain size, and(b) at least one low molecular-weight organic compound having at least one functional group that can react and/or interact with groups present on the surface of the powder particles, the materials (a) and (b) being dispersed in water and/or a polar organic solvent as dispersion medium.
