Advanced composite coatings for high temperature corrosion protection of metals
Program: SRDA
Project leader: doc. RNDr. Hvizdoš Pavol, DrSc.
Annotation: Extension of lifetime and enhancing the thermal stability of steel used for construction of exhaust pipes, heat exchangers in waste incinerators, and casting and melting aggregates in steel and glass production can be achieved via suitable anti-corrosion coatings. The aim of this project is development of new types of composite anti-corrosion protective layers, based on ceramics prepared by controlled pyrolysis of organosilicon precursors. The use of organosilicon precursors facilitates application of conventional coating technologies, such as spray and dip-coating, with subsequent pyrolysis and conversion of the precursor to amorphous ceramics. Increased thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and minimisation of volume changes related to conversion of the organic precursor to ceramics will be achieved through the addition of suitable active and passive oxide glass fillers prepared by flame synthesis in the form of microspheres.The flame synthesis facilitates the preparation of glasses with high melting point, which ensures increase of the maximum operation temperature of the coating up to 1400 oC, as well as increased oxidation and corrosion resistance of prepared coatings, optimum compatibility of the filler with ceramic matrix and metallic substrate and, due to spherical shape of glass microparticles, also negligible influence on the rheology of the system polymer-filler in the course of coating on metallic substrate.

SiNGra – Vývoj nitridu kremičitého s prídavkom multivrstiev grafénu
Development of Si3N4 with addition of graphene platelets
Program: SRDA
Project leader: Mgr. Tatarková Monika, PhD.
Annotation: One of the ways how to improve the mechanical properties of silicon nitride is by formation of composite systems. After the discovery of graphene with its unique mechanical and electrical properties the investigation of graphene as a filler of different materials has started. Present research confirms the significant improvement of the mechanical and electrical properties of the polymer with graphene filler. It is expected that the incorporation of graphene platelets into the silicon nitride matrix improves the fracture toughness which should considerably broaden the potential application of ceramic materials. The aim of the project is to develop materials with the excellent fracture mechanical properties as well as functional properties. The parameter of the processing route and the complex of mechanical properties which are necessary for the estimation of application possibilities will be the results of the project.
