Abstract:
Provided are methods and components related to preventing hydrocarbon residue buildup in engine components. Prevention is achieved using a coating of a mixed metal oxide. The mixed metal oxide comprises a mixture of at least two of Gd, Al, Ti, Ce, Pr, La, Y, Nd, and Mn. The coating can also contain amounts of precious metals, eg. Pt, Pd, Rh and/or Au.
Abstract:
Provided are methods related to preventing hydrocarbon residue buildup in engine, exhaust-gas-system or powertiain components. Prevention is achieved by applying coating of a mixed metal oxide via a suspension plasma spray.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for synthesis of metallic island coatings with tunable island coverage and morphology on a variety of substrates. Particularly, the present invention relates to substrates coated with one or more metal islands and the use of said island-coated substrates.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of protecting a substrate against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation by applying to the substrate metal oxide nanocomposite particles showing at the same time high transmittance of visible light and high absorbance of UV light.
