Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 58 words
A process for the deposition of a coating on a substrate characterised by generating an interface on a sol containing a surfactant, the amount of surfactant being sufficient to cause a film of colloidal material comprising the sol to form at the interface, and contacting the substrate and film so as to deposit the film onto the substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 58 words
A process for the deposition of a coating on a substrate characterised by generating an interface on a sol containing a surfactant, the amount of surfactant being sufficient to cause a film of colloidal material comprising the sol to form at the interface, and contacting the substrate and film so as to deposit the film onto the substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which colloidal material is selected from the group comprising insoluble or sparingly soluble inorganic particles, organic particles, polymeric particles and mixtures thereof
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 in which the colloidal material includes silica.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
A process as claimed in any one of the preceding claims in which the sol includes 0.001 to 30wt% colloidal material with respect to the total weight of the sol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 38 words
A process as claimed in any one of the preceding claims in which the sol includes an amount of surfactant less than that required to form a monolayer according to the expression 3/ρrAN moles g⁻¹ as hereinbefore defined.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 32 words
A process as claimed in any one of the preceding claims in which the sol includes an amount of surfactant in the range of 0.1 to 100mg per gram of colloidal material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 35 words
A process as claimed in any one of the preceding claims in which the substrate is drawn through the interface at which the film has formed so as to contact the film and the substrate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 43 words
A process as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6 in which the substrate is in the form of beads and the sol surfactant mixture is raised to immerse the beads at least once to deposit a coating on the beads.
