Abstract
Communication: Fabrication of zirconia nanoparticle coatings by the io nic self-assembled monolayer (ISAM) method is reported. This technique allows the preparation of dense and homogeneous thin films of very sm all ZrO2 particles with improved properties. The structure of the ZrO2 /polymer nanocomposite thin film is shown schematically in the Figure. It is demonstrated that the obtained coatings have higher hardness co mpared to similar zirconia films.
