Abstract:
A high chroma effect pigment includes a platelet substrate and an optical coating formed on the platelet substrate. The optical coating includes a first high refractive index layer, a second high refractive index layer on the first high refractive index layer, and a diffused third material having a range of diffusion between 100% to partial diffusion in the first high refractive index layer, the second high refractive index layer, or both the first and the second high refractive index layers. The first and second high refractive index layers independently have a refractive index of about >1.65. The diffused third material is SiO2 or a metal oxide is different than the first and second high refractive index layers.

Abstract:
A multi-layer ceramic capacitor is made by alternately layering a dielectric layer constituted by a sintered body of a ceramic powder, and an internal electrode layer. The ceramic powder contains, as a main composition, barium titanate powder having a perovskite structure with a median size of 200 nm or smaller as measured by SEM observation, wherein the barium titanate powder is such that the percentage of barium titanate particle having twin defects in the barium titanate powder is less than 10% as measured by TEM observation and that its crystal lattice c/a is 1.0075 or more.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing metal-coated inorganic particles by means of currentless deposition technique in which the inorganic particles are first functionalized, then introduced into an aqueous metal-salt solution containing metal ions, and the metal is reduced by adding a reducing agent to the aqueous metal-salt mixture containing the functionalized particles and the metal is deposited on the functionalized particles, wherein the functionalization of the inorganic particles takes place by means of aminophosphonic acids, aminocarboxylic acids and/or aminoalcohol phosphoric acid esters, and the aminophosphonic acid, the aminocarboxylic acid and/or the aminoalcohol phosphoric acid ester form(s) a monolayer on the surface of the inorganic particles. The metal-coated inorganic particles can be introduced into metal matrices due to their improved surface properties.
Abstract:
