Fundamentals of sol-gel dip coating
TL;DR: In this article, the porosity and refractive index of thin films from polymeric precursors are varied as follows: volume percent porosity (0% -56%), pore radius (0-3.1 nm); surface area (1.2-263 m 2 g -1 ); refractive indices (118-1.45).
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of sol-gel thin film formation
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of coating theory and experiment is used to define coating protocols to tailor the deposition process to specific applications, which can be used to tailor coating protocols for specific applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sol-gel thin film formation
TL;DR: The overlap between the drying stage and the aggregation/gelation and aging stages of sol-gel film formation establishes a brief time for further condensation reactions to occur as discussed by the authors, and the structures of films are often considerably more compact than those of the corresponding bulk gels or xerogels prepared from identical precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sol-gel thin film formation
TL;DR: In this paper, the pore size, surface area, pore volume and refractive index of sol-gel dip-coating solgel films are controlled by several factors, such as size and opacity of fractal precursors.
