Process engineering of thick dielectric films by Chemically Bonded Composite Sol-Gel

This research explores new processing methods to decrease residual stress in ceramic films on metallic substrates, and thus to prevent large-scale cracking in the films. The system of particular concern is alumina-based ceramic coating on aluminum alloy, wherein coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE...
