Coated articles and methods of manufacture thereof

摘要

A method for coating articles includes contacting a substrate with a mixture comprising a coating composition and a carrier fluid effective to wet at least a portion of the substrate, and removing the carrier fluid by microwave heating for a time and at a temperature effective to produce a coating comprising the coating composition on at least a portion of substrate. The coated articles may be useful in a variety of applications including ion, molecule, and gas separation/filtration; ion-exchanging; semiconductors; catalysis; and as electrodes, among others.
