Research Highlights
Thermal Barrier Coating
Thermal barrier coating using plasma spray is a high-temperature protective layer applied to surfaces using a plasma spray process. It aims to enhance material's resistance to extreme heat, often in gas turbine engines. Materials include ceramic oxides like yttria-stabilized zirconia for superior thermal insulation and mechanical strength.
Wear Resistant Coating
Wear-resistant coating using plasma spray involves depositing a protective layer onto surfaces via plasma spraying to enhance resistance against friction and abrasion. Common materials include carbides, ceramics, and composites like chromium carbide, tungsten carbide, and alumina-zirconia.
Corrosion Resistant Coating
Corrosion-resistant coating using plasma spray entails applying a protective layer onto surfaces using plasma spraying to mitigate the effects of chemical deterioration. Materials like stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, and ceramic-metallic composites, such as alumina-titania, are often used to enhance resistance against corrosion and extend the material's lifespan.
Exfoliation of 2D materials
Exfoliation of 2D materials using plasma spray involves using the high-energy and high-velocity particles produced in a plasma spray process to effectively exfoliate and deposit thin layers of 2D materials. This technique can lead to the creation of novel coatings or functional layers with unique properties derived from the exfoliated 2D materials, such as graphene or other 2D nanomaterials.
Supercapacitors and Energy Storage
Our focus converges on the dynamic landscape of energy storage, specifically centered around supercapacitors. By harnessing the extraordinary properties of two- dimensional materials, namely molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and graphene, our investigations stand poised at the forefront of innovation in the pursuit of advanced energy storage solutions.
Ceramic membrane for water filtration
Plasma-sprayed ceramic membranes offer a promising alternative to traditional polymeric membranes in various filtration and separation processes. These advanced membranes are known for their exceptional durability, high-temperature resistance, and chemical stability, making them suitable for harsh industrial applications. Their precisely engineered porous structure allows for efficient and precise separation, making them an attractive choice for industries seeking improved performance and longevity in membrane technology.
