Sol-gel-derived nanocomposite coatings filled with inorganic fullerene-like WS2
- Silica coatings filled with nanoscaled inorganic fullerene-like tungsten disulphide (IF-WS2) have been prepared through a solgel process on stainless steel substrates, and the structure and mechanical properties have been investigated. The precursor was prepared from a mixture of colloidal silica, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GLYMO), water and ethanol, adjusted to pH 4 with HNO3. In this solution WS2 is dispersed and in some cases immediately before coating ethylenediamine (ED) is added. The stainless steel substrates are dip-coated, dried in air and heat-treated in the temperature range of either 150360 °C in air or up to 900 °C in vacuum. The solidification process is followed by differential thermal analysis (DTA). The resulting brown coloured coatings have a thickness of 1.54 µm. Scanning electron microscopy investigations (SEM) show that the WS2 nanoparticles are embedded as small aggregates in a hybrid silica matrix. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements prove that mostSilica coatings filled with nanoscaled inorganic fullerene-like tungsten disulphide (IF-WS2) have been prepared through a solgel process on stainless steel substrates, and the structure and mechanical properties have been investigated.

Scanning electron microscopy investigations (SEM) show that the WS2 nanoparticles are embedded as small aggregates in a hybrid silica matrix. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements prove that most of the tungsten disulphide embedded in the matrix can be protected against oxidation even after curing the samples at temperatures up to 900 °C. Hardness and modulus of the hybrid silica films were measured through an instrumented indentation test. Increasing the temperature of the heat treatment yields an increase of hardness from 0.3 to 1 GPa and of modulus from 3 to 17 GPa. The amount of up to 10 wt.% WS2 in the coatings has no remarkable influence on hardness and modulus of the samples.…
