  • Patent number: 6485791
    Abstract: Improved adhesion of thermal barrier coatings to nonmetallic substrates using a dense layer of ceramic on an underlying nonmetallic substrate that includes at least one oxidizable component. The improved adhesion occurs because the application of the dense ceramic layer forms a diffusion barrier for oxygen. This diffusion barrier prevents the oxidizable component of the substrate from decomposing. The present invention applies ceramic by a process that deposits a relatively thick and dense ceramic layer on the underlying substrate. The formation of the dense layer of ceramic avoids the problem of void formation associated with ceramic formation by most prior art thermal decomposition processes. The formation of voids has been associated with premature spalling of thermal barrier layers and other protective layers applied to substrates.

  • Patent number: 6413579
    Abstract: The invention is a method of making a coated glass substrate having a low haze. A soda-lime glass substrate having at least one surface upon which a coating may be deposited is provided. The glass substrate is heated and maintained at a temperature sufficient to volatilize salts that may be formed during the depositing of a first coating on the glass substrate. A first gaseous precursor mixture including a halogen containing precursor, a metal precursor, an oxidizing agent, and an inert to carrier gas is directed toward and along the surface to be coated and reacting the mixture at or near the surface of the glass substrate to form a first coating containing a metal oxide coating. The glass substrate is cooled to a temperature to reduce crystalline growth in a second coating to be applied over the first coating.

  • Patent number: 6372290
    Abstract: The invention relates to a carrier material having an inorganic molecular structure and a surface coating produced by applying a substance and by heat treatment. The invention also relates to a method for the production and to the appropriate uses of said surface coating. Carrier materials made of glass, metal or ceramic should be provided with a surface coating with anti-sticking properties against water-based and/or oil-based organic materials or water-oil emulsions while exhibiting at the same time essentially better temperature-resistant and anti-scratch characteristics than conventional PTFE or silicon coatings. The requirements are met by an inventive surface coating consisting of a combination of inorganic molecules of the carrier material and organic molecules of an applied substance on the uppermost molecular layer of said coating. In order to produce such a surface, an inorganic substance with silicone-like networks is initially applied.
