Abstract

The plasma spraying Al2O3+13wt. %TiO2 ceramic coating was coated with organic-inorganic hybrid emulsion. The hybrid emulsion prepared through co-hydrolysis and copolycondensation reactions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), and methylsilicone resin was added in the emulsion to improve the film-forming properties. The morphologies, chemical compositions and hydrophobicity of the resulting surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 3-dimensional stereoscopic microscope, energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDX), Fourier transfer infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and water contact angle measurement. When the mole ratio of TEOS/MTES and the weight ratio of methylsilicone resin were 1:1 and 3.5wt. %, respectively, this surface displayed good film-forming properties. The contact angle was 130.24°, and the contact angle hysteresis was less than 10°.
