Composition of ZnO, SnO2 and silver powders in organic vehicle is applied using painting methods followed by subsequent laser treatment / sintering.
About
Nanosilver is known for its unique property which is low melting temperature and lack of oxidation therefore no inert atmposhere is needed for sintering.However sintering is needed. It is to be done by laser treatment therefore not owen process is needed. Alternatively a flame can be used. ZnO provides corrosion resistance. SnO2 gives corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. Silver provides bacteriostatic properties and is a binder enabling relatively low temperature sintering without need of inert gas shielding.
Key Benefits
creating of metal oxide layers in ambient conditions.
Applications
functional coating: electrcial contacts, antibacteria, antiviral coating.
