Reactor-Injector: Synthesis and Direct Atomization of Nanoparticles Towards Nanocomposite Coatings Assisted by Plasma Process
Résumé
Nanocomposite coatings (i.e. nano-objects embedded in a matrix coating) allot multifunctional properties to produce advanced materials. Depending on the type and the organization of the nano-objects inside the matrix a large range of applications can be achieved such as self-cleaning, anticorrosion, antiwear, superhydrophobicity and many more… From “bottom-up to “top-down” a large range of methods are reported. When stabilized preformed nanoparticles in solution are used in nanocomposite process, aggregation or agglomeration can occur. For that reason, the transport of the nanoparticles into matrix formation process is a challenge for the control of the final properties.
