Nanotechnology coatings can be applied using several methods, each suited for different types of applications and substrates. Common techniques include:
1. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This involves the chemical reaction of gaseous precursors that deposit a thin film on the substrate. 2. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): This technique uses physical processes like evaporation to deposit the coating material. 3. Sol-Gel Processing: A liquid solution containing nanoparticles is applied and then solidified to form a thin film. 4. Electrospinning: Uses electric force to draw charged threads of polymer solutions or melts to create nanofibers.
