Technology for the Formation of Functional Coatings Based on Glass Microspheres

Abstract

The technology for the formation of functional coatings from hollow glass microspheres by the self-organization method from aqueous-alcoholic suspensions is proposed. A monolayer with the closest (hexagonal) packing is shown to be formed on a solid (glass) substrate. The criterion for the ordering of a monolayer is proposed. The assessment of the influence of various technological factors on the monolayer formation rate and the degree of its ordering is given.
