Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to welcome you to submit your manuscript to this Special Issue, which is called “Advances in Ceramic Protective Films and Coatings”. The goal of this issue is to emphasize some of the most recent and interesting contributions to the ceramic protective coatings field using a combination of original research papers from around the world.

Ceramic protective films and coatings are helpful for various applications (medical and industrial applications, nuclear applications, etc.) which can be used in research fields such as electronics, tribology, catalytic chemistry, as well as in energy engineering. These applications include friction reduction, wear resistance, corrosion protection, thermal protection, hydrogen permeation barriers, electrical functionality, and optical functionality.

Ceramic films and coatings can be applied by different techniques including evaporation, plasma spraying, sputtering, chemical vapour deposition, sol-gel processing, and ion-beam implantation. The possible ranges of composition, quality of microstructures, and resulting properties of the material may vary depending on the method of preparation. Ceramic film or coatings can add desirable functions or modify required properties without changing the origin materials thanks to their unique abilities. It is shown that because of the different characteristics of thin films from bulk material, these materials attract more attention.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a silicone-elastomer that owes its large application in the field of stretchable electronics to its chemical and thermal stability, transparency, flexibility, non-toxicity, compatibility, and low cost. PDMS is a versatile material because it can be used both as an elastic substrate and, after functionalization, as an active material for the design of stretchable electronics. One possible route for the functionalization of PDMS, thus becoming an active material together with numerous metals and semiconductors, is the embedding of conductive nanomaterials. Presently, pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and laser-induced backward transfer (LIBT) are used to deposit carbon- based material on polydimethylsiloxane. In this study, we explore and compare the surface treatments, advantages, and disadvantages of both different employed techniques in different environments. The modification of the wettability, elasticity, morphology, composition, and optical characteristics of polydimethylsiloxane will be evaluated by surface techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, and the sessile drop method.

A patient’s body accepting a bone implant depends not only on the biomaterial used, but also on its surface, which allows it to properly interact with bone cells. Therefore, research has focused on improving the bioactive and tribological properties of titanium and its alloys. Commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) is widely used as a biomedical material. However, it is characterized by unsuitable tribological properties. In this work, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was deposited on a cp-Ti substrate via plasma spray–physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD). The structural characteristics were determined using X-ray analysis (XRD). Additionally, the lattice parameters of each phase were determined using Rietveld’s method. High-resolution scanning microscopy (HR-SEM) showed a typical column structure of coatings that can be used with PS-PVD. Depending on the process parameters, the coatings differed in thickness in the range of 2.4–9.0 µm. The surface roughness also varied. The samples were subjected to nano-indenter testing. A slight change in hardness after deposition of the coating was observed, in addition to a significant decrease in the Young’s modulus. The Young’s modulus in relation to the metallic substrate was reduced to 58 or 78 GPa depending on the parameters of the spray-coating process. Full article
