Abrasion resistance of ceramic thin films of ZrO 2 /SiO 2 on stretched grade polymethyl methacrylate substrates

One-pot conversion of dihydroxyacetone into ethyl lactate by Zr-based catalysts

“…29 The peak detected at 836 cm À1 is considered as the stretching of Zr-O. 30 Additionally, the thermal behavior of Zr-based catalyst (Fig. 1d) was also analyzed by TG-DTG.…”

Engineered TiO2 and SiO2‐TiO2 films on silica‐coated glass for increased thin film durability under abrasive conditions

“…Thin film durability is a key factor for products exposed to severe conditions such as abrasive wear. The applications of thin films to give an extra function to a substrate, or to protect it from external factors are growing . Abrasive wear performance evaluations in the automotive sector are already established by special standards…”

“…The applications of thin films to give an extra function to a substrate, [1][2][3][4] or to protect it from external factors are growing. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Abrasive wear performance evaluations in the automotive sector are already established by special standards. 11 In the last decades, TiO 2 has become more relevant for the industry due to its wide range of applications in selfcleaning surfaces, 12 antibacterial coatings, 13 optical filters, 14 electrodes in solar cells, 15 sensors, 16 among others.…”
