DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The Global Market for Sol-Gel Coatings 2020-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Organic/inorganic hybrid coatings prepared via the sol-gel process have garnered considerable research and commercial interest for application on glass, metallic and polymeric substrates.
The sol-gel process is considered attractive due to simple processing and relative low-cost, resulting in the creation of multi-functional, protective surfaces. This is due to the unique structure and properties of silica-based coatings and of hybrid inorganic-organic silicas in particular.
Enhanced coatings and surfaces obtained via this low-temperature route display a large range of bulk and surface properties that can be tailored by specific applications. The versatility of sol-gel coatings has enabled solutions in industries such as electronics, optics, solar energy harvesting, aerospace, automotive engineering, marine protection, textiles and healthcare. The sol-gel method also allows for control of the synthesis of multifunctional hybrid materials, where the organic, inorganic and, in some cases, biological precursors and polymers are mixed at a nanometer scale.
Properties that can be achieved with sol-gel coatings include:
- Hydrophobic surfaces;
- Anti-fingerprinting;
- Oleophobic surfaces;
- Anti-microbial surfaces;
- Easy to clean surfaces;
- Protective transparent coatings;
- Corrosion resistance;
- Low friction;
- Chemical resistance;
- Free of fluoropolymers;
- Antistatic surfaces;
- Conducting/semi-conducting surfaces;
- Extreme mechanical wear-resistant properties;
- UV protection.
