4. Modes of action of sol-gel treatments
Oxide films obtained by the sol-gel process are of potential interest for the protection of metals against corrosion due to:
the chemical and thermal inertia of the mineral oxide network;
the barrier effect of the sol-gel deposit, which limits the access of aggressive environmental species (H 2 O, ions...) to the metal substrate ;
-
strong interactions between the metal oxide layer and the inorganic layer, linked in particular to the formation of covalent bonds of the
