Research of structural and mechanical properties of protective sol-gel coatings based on oxides Si, Ti, Zr and their complexes

А sol-gel method for producing protective coatings based on silicon, titanium and zirconium oxides containing reinforcing additives: carbon powder and titanium oxide is resented. The optimal synthesis conditions are determined and the main regime of formation of the obtained materials is described. The investigation of the adhesion of the obtained coatings and studying the effect of adding reinforcing additives on the hardness and impact strength of the formed protective sol-gel coatings are presented.
