T. Mori et al., DEVELOPMENT OF SILICA COATING METHODS FOR POWDERED PIGMENTS WITH ATMOSPHERIC-PRESSURE GLOW PLASMA, Thin solid films, 316(1-2), 1998, pp. 89-92
We examined silica coating methods on Fe3O4 (black), FeOOH (yellow) an
d Lithol Rubine BCA (RED) powders by means of atmospheric pressure glo
w plasma CVD with tetraethoxysilane. These pigments were deteriorated
easily by heating or oxidation. However, cooling the discharge tube an
d depositing protective films on the pigments before plasma oxidation
could prevent the deterioration. We developed three ways to make prote
ctive films, which suited each pigment's characteristics. (C) 1998 Els
