Glassy Surface Functionalisaiton By Nano-Modified Sol-Gel

Glassy surface, especially enamels, ceramic glazes & glass, not always present the desired surface properties in order to achieve new performances. The realised investigations clearly show that those properties are not achievable by modifying the composition of those surfaces, that is why it is often necessary to treat them superficially, so they can obtain the missing properties. The superficial treatment in question can be realised by CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition), PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition), FS (Flame Spray), or by Chemical Nano-Technology (=Sol Gel). This article comprises a detailed explanation about this last process on the multiple functions that can be obtained & particularly, "NanoClean", a nano-modified "sol-gel" layer, transforming an enamelled surface into a surface presenting anti-adherent properties.
