Abstract
The application of one material on another, often referred to as the substrate, is what is known as a coating. Their primary purpose is to shield the material from deterioration brought on by external factors. They serve as a conduit between the environment and the substrate. Furthermore, they serve as decorations as well. Nanocoatings are coatings in which the particles are at least one dimension apart and fall between 1 and 1000 nm in size. Because nanocoatings are tougher and harder on the substrate than other conventional coatings, they offer greater wear resistance. In addition, they offer antimicrobial, stain and wrinkle resistance, hydrophobic and hydrophilic qualities, UV protection, and antistatic qualities that affect the substrate material's bulk properties. Additionally, an attempt has been made to compile the different processing methods used in their fabrication.
