20080249616 | Reinforced Porous Coating - The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a porous coating with structures in the micro or nano-size domain characterized by the following steps: -providing a support having a surface, -depositing on said surface one mono-layer of temporary particles, -depositing a coating on said temporary particles in such a way that the thickness of said coating is less than the particle diameter, -eliminating said temporary particles and thereby obtaining a porous coating, the pores of said coating corresponding to the spaces previously occupied by the temporary particles and at least a part of the pores communicating with the external environment, -applying a coating fixation step, characterized by the fact that said temporary particles are deposited on said surface in such a way that, after particle deposition, more than 50% of the temporary particles are in contact with a maximum of two adjacent particles and otherwise are separated by an empty space. The invention also concerns a coating and an object which can be obtained with this process. | 10-09-2008 |

20090098178 | Porous Coating Loaded with a Liquid or a Solid Substance - The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a porous coating with structures in the micro or nano-size domain characterized by the following steps: -providing a support having a surface, -depositing on said surface one mono-layer of temporary particles, -depositing a coating on said temporary particles in such a way that the thickness of said coating is less than the particle diameter, -eliminating said temporary particles and thereby obtaining a porous coating, the pores of said coating corresponding to the spaces previously occupied by the temporary particles and at least a pail of the pores communicating with the external environment, -applying a coating fixation step, characterized by the fact that it furthermore comprise a filling step where said pores are at least partially filled with a liquid or solid substance. The invention also concerns a coating and an object which can be obtained with this process. | 04-16-2009 |
20090177273 | ANISOTROPIC NANOPOROUS COATINGS FOR MEDICAL IMPLANTS - The present invention relates to a process for fabricating a porous coatings with controlled structure in the micro and nano-size domain. In particular, but not exclusively, it relates to a process for fabricating coatings with an anisotropic pore size distribution and to coatings obtained using such coatings. It describes in particular the use of ink-jet method to deposit in a controlled way such coatings. It also relates to porous coatings with controlled structure in the micro and nano-size domain. The coating has a thickness between 10 nanometers and 10 millimeters and its porosity is created in such a way that the pore size distribution is anisotropic. It finally describes objects covered with this coating. | 07-09-2009 |
20090324676 | POROUS COATING INCORPORATING FLUID RESERVOIRS - Porous coating for the controlled release of fluids such as drugs comprising a porous structure with internal reservoirs and passages, said reservoirs communicating with the external environment through said passages, in such a way that a fluid can move between the reservoirs and the external environment, characterized by the fact that for at least a group of said passages, each passage contains a restricting element which partially restricts the passage cross section. | 12-31-2009 |
20120183733 | MECHANICALLY STABLE COATING - Element comprising a substrate and a nanoporous adherent coating made of at least one layer, said layer being in adherent contact with said substrate and comprising separate domains of nanoparticles, each of said domains having an average diameter between 1 and 1000 nm and being separated from its neighbor domains on the major part of its circumference by an average distance equal or less to its diameter. | 07-19-2012 |
