Barrier coating made from glass-ceramic nanocrystals

Zirconia and silica glass-ceramic nanocrystals

Invention Patent No. NC2016/0005250, Colombia (granted).

A thermophysical method or process for producing a biofilm without chemical additives (acids, bases, or plasticizers) or the addition of other components such as fibers or starches. The material is resistant to mechanical stress similar to paper, a natural thermal and acoustic insulator for the protection and transport of solid products, and is 100% biodegradable.

Ceramic thermal coating and thermal variable sensor.

The material has enhanced optical properties, making it a sensor of thermal variables, as well as a barrier coating.
It allows and facilitates the diagnosis of operational variables such as surface temperature in closed thermal systems, detachment of ceramic layers, without the use of electrical cables and using an optical fiber for this purpose.
