The prepared lms were characterized by TEM, SEM, EDS, XRD and other methods. The composite lms obtained from calcinated NBG particles were compared to the lms obtained from non calcinated NBG particles. Here, we present a comparative study on the mechanical and adhesion properties of two types of lm (TiO2- calcinated NBG and TiO2-non calcinated NBG). The prepared thick lms were smooth and free of macro cracking, fracture or aking. The grain size of these lms was uniform and its nano scale con rmed using a TEM microscope. Adhesion tests were carried out according to the ASTM-D-3359-97 standard. The results showed that both calcinated and non calcinated NBG-titania lms have very good adhesion properties. The hardness of the prepared lms (TiO2-calcinated NBG and TiO2-non calcinated NBG) was compared by using a micro hardness test method. The results veri ed that the presence of calcinated NBG particles in a NBG-titania composite gradually enhanced the mechanical data of the prepared lms.
