Abstract

Besides conventional high-temperature sintering processes for the preparation of ceramics, synthesis routes like chemical and physical vapor phase deposition or molecular beam epitaxy as well as sol-gel and polymer thermolysis carried out at decreased temperatures gain in significance. Such a trend is especially pronounced in the case of the deposition of oxide-based solids from aqueous solutions induced by organic templates. This approach is inspired by biomineralization that in general involves the formation of well-structured and complex-shaped organic/inorganic composites by the deposition of an inorganic solid on an organic matrix that consists of biomolecules like proteins. It occurs at ambient conditions with respect to temperature, pressure and atmosphere.

The imitation of these processes by technical means is the deposition of thin oxide films from aqueous solutions in the presence of organic self-assembled monolayers. Besides general features of this technique like low synthesis temperatures, processing costs and equipment expenditure as well as the line-of-sight deposition suitable for coating complex shaped and/or temperature-sensitive substrates the characteristics of the films and their mechanisms of formation are discussed by way of the oxide systems TiO2, ZrO2 and ZnO.

Abstract

Neben den klassischen Sinterverfahren zur Herstellung von keramischen Materialien bei hohen und höchsten Temperaturen etablieren sich zunehmend Synthesewege wie chemische und physikalische Bedampfungsmethoden oder Molekularstrahlepitaxie sowie Sol-Gel-Verfahren und die Thermolyse prökeramischer Polymere, welche teilweise bei wesentlich niedrigeren Prozesstemperaturen durchgeführt werden. Besonders ausgepragt ist dieser Trend bei der Erzeugung von oxidischen Festkörpern mittels einer durch organische Template induzierten Abscheidung aus wässriger Lösung. Ansatzpunkte für derartige neue Verfahren liefert die Biomineralisation, die im Allgemeinen mit der Bildung eines anorganischen Materials durch eine Biopolymermatrix und der Entstehung komplexer anorganischorganischer Verbundmaterialien bei Umgebungsbedingungen verbunden ist.

Eine Nachahmung dieser material- und strukturbildenden Prozesse mit technischen Mitteln ist die Abscheidung dünner oxidischer Schichten aus wässriger Losung in Gegenwart synthetischer organischer Grenzflächen. Die Strukturmerkmale und möglichen Bildungsmechanismen der Schichtsysteme werden an oxidischen Systemen wie TiO2, ZrO2 oder ZnO besprochen. Darüber hinaus werden wesentliche Charakteristika dieses Verfahrens und dessen Unterschiede gegenüber den konventionellen Techniken aufgezeigt. Hierzu gehören neben der niedrigen Abscheidungstemperatur der vergleichsweise geringe apparative Aufwand und die Möglichkeit einer gleichförmigen Beschichtung auch komplex geformter Körper und insbesondere temperaturempfindlicher Substrate.

Keywords: Template-induced deposition; Self-assembled monolayers; Ceramic materials
