Real-time deformation monitoring of sol-gel-induced SiO_2-TiO_2 films using laser-induced fluorescence microscopy for corrosion protection

摘要

Real-time analysis of the deformation of surface coatings using laser-induced fluorescence microscopy (LIFM) has been demonstrated. An SiO_2-TiO_2 coating film doped with a fluorescent material by the sol-gel process was used, so that the changes in fluorescence intensity before and after corrosion could be monitored.
