Biodegradable polymer properties through ceramic coatings

Coating of bio-based polymers with ceramic layer has attracted interest recently, the research topic raising difficulties regarding technology obtaining layers that involve very high working temperatures. The study aims to analyses mechanical, tribological and structural characteristics Arboblend V2 Nature biodegradable polymer after deposition microlayers. micro powders used were Amdry 6420 (Cr 2 O 3 ), Metco 143 (ZrO 18TiO 10Y ) 136F -xSiO -yTiO ). coated samples obtained by injection molding was achieved using Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) method. results related showed that, in general, deposits particles increased material surface (hardness, scratch resistance, apparent friction coefficient), due uniformity coating on polymeric substrate. Based these, it possible recommend use - harsh operating conditions, such as automotive industry.
