Preparation and characterization of bioinspired three-dimensional architecture of zirconia on ceramic surface

Inspired by bioinspired coating with nanostructures, a heterogeneous zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic membrane has been extensively aspired for changing its intrinsic surface properties. Hence, synthesizing specific nano-microscale architectures of ZrO2 has achieved great interest due to its novel surface properties and application. Here we reported a sol-gel strategy that involved the organic of P123, Brij@C10 and inorganic of Zr-precursor. Impressively, the heterogeneously growth demonstrated that an ultrathin buffer layer could be utilized as the rational mediation of thermal expansion mismatches between their heterogeneously interfaces. This work will raise the potential of bioinspired membrane for emerging applications in industrial processes, such as surface adhesion.
