Abstract:The effects of curing temperature on surface characteristics of TiO 2 -Fe 2 O 3 multi-oxide thin film coated glazed wall tile were studied. The thin film was developed by sol-gel method using spin coating technique and subsequently cured at 600 o , 700 o and 800 o C by fast firing. DTA/TG of the gel as well as XRD of the calcined gel powder was carried out. The surface characteristics of the thin film were characterized using optical microscopy, FESEM-EDX and gloss meter. The mineral hardness test and stain re… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
