Sol-gel coatings are combination of inorganic and organic compounds prepared by sol-gel technology. Sol-gel process is used to convert small molecules to solid materials and involves converting monomers into colloidal solution, which acts as precursor for network of particles. Sol-gel derived coatings have characteristics such as antifungal, antibacterial, wear resistance, UV protection, semiconducting or conducting, antistatic and others. They also show good oxidation control and chemical ... Read more
