New Class of High Temperature Pseudo-Amorphous Oxide Materials

Nonaqueous Atomic Layer Deposition of Aluminum Phosphate

“…Thus, it involves transport processes through the coating. Aluminum phosphate is reported to have a low oxygen permeability; , furthermore, the flexibility of the residual microtubes compared to alumina microtubes might indicate that the aluminum phosphate coating may have a lower tendency to form microcracks.…”

“…Unlike h-BN and graphitic carbon, the aluminum phosphate is stable against water and oxygen up to 1400 °C , and thus can act as a diffusion barrier. Of special interest in our context is the fact that one of the polymorphs of the AlPO 4 , tridymite, has a layered structure and thus can be considered a “weak” material…”

Preparation of Mg and Al phosphate coatings on ferritic steel by wet-chemical method as tritium permeation barrier

“…Because of their environment-friendliness, refractoriness, and chemical stability, these phosphates have been used as binders of refractory ceramics [16][17][18][19], sealants of plasma-sprayed oxide coatings [20,21], and anti-corrosion/oxidation coatings [18,22,23]. The permeability of hydrogen isotopes, however, has 0920-3796/$ -see front matter © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.…”
