Research abstract
Sol-gel processing has been proved to be a successful route to make diverse ceramic coatings. In this research, a composite ceramic coating via the sol gel process has been proposed, with the transition metal oxides (ZnO, FeTiO3, VO2) spherical partical particles having the required optical properties for spacecraft thermal control, and tin oxide (SnO2) matrix provides high electrical conductivity (up to 103Q-1cm-l) for electrostatic discharge control. Also, these dispersing materials have electrically modified optical properties, thus resulting the optical properties of the coatings being modified electrically.
