| Description | New methods have been developed to deposit functional and protective ceramic coatings on metal and polymer substrates, at room temperature, using the particulate aerosol deposition process. Modifications have been made to the deposition system to improve the reproducibility of the aerosol generation unit and monitoring of key process parameters, including the particle size distribution in the aerosol.This unique deposition facility, which has been developed within the Henry Royce Institute in Manchester, provides new opportunities to combine conventionally incompatible materials in novel types of composite coatings as a result of its ability to produce dense, cohesive and adherent ceramic coatings at room temperature. New research collaborations have been initiated with colleagues at the University of Manchester to conduct further work on modelling and simulation of the deposition mechanisms (Dr N Bojdo, Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering), electrically insulating ceramic coatings for metallic conductors (Prof. Ian Cotton, Electrical and Electronic Engineering) and Next generation of ceramic coatings for active protection of light alloys (Dr Beatriz Mingo, Materials). |
| Exploitation Route | The developing facility for low-temperature manufacture of ceramic films by particulate aerosol deposition in the Henry Royce Institute at Manchester will support a wide range of research activities on functional and protective coatings. Our initial work on ceramic dielectrics for capacitors has already been expanded to include electrical insulators for metallic conductors, protective coatings for light alloys, and bioactive coatings for implants. There is clear potential to extend the range of applications further to include topics such as ceramic electrolytes for fuel cells and solid state batteries, flexible electronics, abrasion resistant coatings for engineering polymers and other types of composite or multilayer devices incorporating traditionally incompatible materials. Exploitation of the results of this work will be accelerated through collaboration with other research institutes and industries across the UK, supported by the Henry Royce Institute. |
