Development of ceramic coatings on aluminum and plastics by laser pyrolysis of particle-filled silicanes

Project description: In recent years, it has been shown that precursor technology is very well suited for the production of ceramic coatings using furnace pyrolysis. However, the required high temperatures allow the production of ceramic coatings only on high-melting substrates. Recently, we have successfully demonstrated that laser pyrolysis of precursor coatings can also be used to produce ceramic coatings on steel substrates. However, the targeted introduction of laser radiation as an energy source for pyrolysis should lead to a reduction in the thermal load on the substrate, making it possible to produce ceramic coatings even on low-melting substrates.
