Title: Innovations by Christian Delacruz
Introduction
Christian Delacruz is an accomplished inventor based in Parsippany, NJ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of engineering, particularly in the development of advanced coatings for various applications. With a total of 3 patents to his name, Delacruz continues to push the boundaries of innovation.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a fouling resistant system. This invention involves a coating for spark plugs and engine parts that is resistant to fouling. The coating can be applied by dipping the part in a sol gel solution, ensuring it wets the part, and extracting it at a slow, controlled rate. As the part dries, the sol gel reacts with moisture in the air to form a thin oxide film. Unlike conventional sol gel applications, this invention allows for the formation of an oxide coating in situ while drying in place on the part.
Another notable patent is related to protective barrier coatings. This invention provides barrier coated substrates and methods for coating a substrate with a barrier coating derived from sol gels. An example includes a barrier coated aerospace component that is subject to hot salt corrosion during use. The barrier coating is derived from the oxidation of a coating composition that includes at least one sol gel. This coating resists hot salt corrosion for a duration that would cause significant damage to an uncoated superalloy substrate under the same conditions.
