Doped ZnO:Al thin films were deposited on glass substrates by the solgel dip technique. Optical parameters such as the refractive index and the extinction coefficient tend to change with increasing annealing temperature.

The NiO thin films were prepared from NiCl 2 · 6 H 2 O precursor by using sol–gel route. The films were deposited on a glass substrate using dip-coating technique. The optical and structural properties of the NiO thin films were investigated with respect to dipping rate, number of layers, and annealing temperature. The microstructure of NiO thin films and powder were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Various diffraction peaks of NiO powder were observed in the XRD pattern. The morphology of the films was studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical characteristics of the samples were determined by using UV–visible spectrophotometer. The results show that the NiO thin films are transparent in the visible range. Optical constants (refractive index, extinction coefficient…) were changed by varying dipping rate, number of layers, and annealing temperature.

The Ce3+-doped and undoped nanocrystalline TiO2 films were prepared on glass substrates surface by sol-gel dip coating technique. The crystal structure and surface morphology of TiO2 films were characterized by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The results indicated that the Ce3+-doped TiO2 films were solely composed of the anatase phase whereas in the undoped films small amount of the rutile phase of TiO2 were present. The average crystallite size of the undoped TiO2 films was about 30nm and was decreased with Ce3+-doping in the TiO2 films. Moreover, the grains distributed more uniform and the surface roughness was smaller in the Ce3+-doped TiO2 films than in the undoped one. The action mechanism of Ce3+-doping inhibits the crystallization of the rutile phase and decreases the anatase granularity of TiO2 films is associated with its physicochemical properties, as well as ionic diffusion and valance change of Ce3+ to Ce4+ in the sintering process.

The sol-gel method provides a wide variety of applications in the medical field. One of these applications is the formation of coatings on the metal implants. The coatings containing specific additive can enhance or improve the existing surface properties of the substrate. In this work, titania sol-gel coatings were doped with two forms of silver (AgNO3, Ag3PO4) and synthetic hydroxyapatite and applied on the titanium samples by dip-coating technique. After drying and slow firing, all coatings were characterized with scanning electron microscopy. Thin coatings were successfully prepared with excellent adhesion to the substrate (measured by ASTM D 3359-2), despite cracks. Coatings containing silver and hydroxyapatite demonstrated a 100% antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli after 24 h. The bioactivity of the coatings containing hydroxyapatite tested in modified simulated body fluid under static-dynamic conditions was confirmed by bone-like hydroxyapatite precipitation. To better understand the interaction of the coatings with simulated body fluid (SBF), changes of Ca2+ and (PO4)3− ions concentrations and pH values were studied.
