2135 2022 2022 eng 18 3 12 article MDPI AG 1 -- 2022-03-02 -- This study presents a simple but effective process route for the production of transparent coatings on glass substrates from inorganic pigment goethite. For this purpose, coating suspensions were prepared by wet milling with a stirred media mill. A water/ethanol mixture was used as the liquid medium to take advantage of the resulting low surface tension for the coating process. In this manner, stable suspensions with particles of down to 50 nm in size were obtained, which already showed a significant increase in transparency. With regard to grinding characteristics, particularly low stress energies proved to be energetically reasonable. The coating step was performed by wet film deposition, achieving coating thicknesses in a range of 0.5–2.5 µm via dip coating. Highly transparent coatings were obtained by applying small particles of 50 nm, which exhibited a significantly lower scattering loss of light (≈3%) in comparison to particles of around 300 nm (70–80%). Additionally, the film color could be adjusted through a variation of the drying temperature due to a conversion of goethite to hematite by dehydration. Since transparency was not affected, this provides an easy-to-implement process adaptation for controlling coating colors.
