Several techniques are used to apply nanoceramic coatings, including:
1. Sol-Gel Process: Involves the transition of a system from a liquid 'sol' into a solid 'gel' phase. 2. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A chemical process used to produce high-purity, high-performance solid materials. 3. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): A vacuum deposition method used to produce thin films and coatings. 4. Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD): Uses an electric field to deposit particles from a colloidal suspension onto a substrate.
