The Influence of Annealing Temperature on the Structural and Optical Properties of ZrO<sub>2</sub> Thin Films and How Affects the Hydrophilicity

Zirconium oxide (ZrO<sub>2</sub>) thin films were prepared by the sol-gel dip coating technique, in combination with annealing at different temperatures in air atmosphere, with the final goal of studying the water wettability of the surface. The annealing effects on the structural and op...
