    Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to anodic films and methods for forming anodic films. The methods described can be used to form anodic films that have a white appearance. Methods involve positioning reflective particles on or within a substrate prior to or during an anodizing process. The reflective particles are positioned within the metal oxide of the resultant anodic film but substantially outside the pores of the anodic film. The reflective particles scatter incident light giving the resultant anodic film a white appearance.

    Abstract: The described embodiments relate generally to cosmetic surfaces and associated treatments to alter a color of cosmetic surfaces. According to one embodiment, cosmetic ink configured to be applied to a cosmetic surface can include a suspension matrix configured to suspend a number of small particles in the suspension matrix. Each of the small particles of the suspension matrix is within a desired overall diameter to cause a user to perceive a desired color due to plasmon resonance of the small particles.

    Abstract: A metal matrix composite using as one of the components a precious metal is described. In one embodiment, the precious metal takes the form of gold and the metal matrix composite has a gold mass fraction in accordance with 18 k. The metal matrix composite can be formed by blending a precious metal ( e.g. , gold) powder and a ceramic powder, forming a mixture that is then compressed within a die having a near net shape of the metal matrix composite. The compressed mixture in the die is then heated to sinter the precious metal and ceramic powder. Other techniques for forming the precious metal matrix composite using HIP, and a diamond powder are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The described embodiments relate generally to cosmetic surfaces and associated treatments to form cosmetic surfaces. Cosmetic surface treatments as described herein both increase durability and decrease the appearance of physical damage through implementation of an intermediate barrier layer having a first physical attribute (e.g., color of barrier layer) of a predetermined relationship with a second physical attribute of a second layer (e.g., color of a cosmetic layer). The intermediate barrier layer separates the second layer (e.g., a cosmetic or external layer) from internal material supporting both. The first physical attribute may be chosen to be of a similar appearance to the second physical attribute (e.g., matching and/or somewhat closely matching in color) such that physical damage to the cosmetic layer is made less visible.
