Global Sol-Gel Coatings Industry Growth and Trends Forecast to 2031

Summary

A sol is a dispersion of the solid particles (~ 0.1-1 μm) in a liquid where only the Brownian motions suspend the particles. A gel is a state where both liquid and solid are dispersed in each other, which presents a solid network containing liquid components. The sol-gel coating process usually consists of 4 steps:
(1) The desired colloidal particles once dispersed in a liquid to form a sol.
(2) The deposition of sol solution produces the coatings on the substrates by spraying, dipping or spinning.
(3) The particles in sol are polymerized through the removal of the stabilizing components and produce a gel in a state of a continuous network.
(4) The final heat treatments pyrolyze the remaining organic or inorganic components and form an amorphous or crystalline coating.
