  1. Silicon Technologies Australia Limited, Queanbeyan (Australia)
Australian research into various ceramic coatings prepared by the sol-gel process has led to the development of several products for which commercialisation is imminent. These coatings include indium tin oxide, doped lead titanate and lead zirconate titanate, titania, silica, mixed titania/silica, zirconia and partially stabilised zirconia. Products incorporating these coatings find application in glazing for scratch resistance, and architecturally for Low-E properties and as spectrally-selective filters. Other products include coated metals suitable for wear resistant applications such as dies. Sensors have also been produced based on piezoelectric, ferroelectric and pyroelectric properties. A selection of these products is discussed.
