Abstract
A rotor for a reluctance machine includes a rotor body having cavities defined by inner surfaces of the rotor body, a filler disposed within the cavities, and an adhesive coating that covalently bonds the filler to the inner surfaces of the rotor body. The adhesive coating exhibits a composite structure including a continuous matrix component and a discontinuous organic component dispersed throughout the matrix component, wherein the matrix component comprises an inorganic siloxane network and the organic component comprises a plurality of organic groups bonded to the inorganic siloxane network. The adhesive coating is formed on the inner surfaces of the rotor body by depositing a precursor composition on the inner surfaces of a rotor body and exposing the precursor composition to a plasma. The precursor composition comprises an organofunctional silane or a hydrolysate thereof.
