A method for manufacturing a ceramic substrate that includes preparing a plurality of ceramic green sheets, at least one of the plurality of ceramic green sheets having a disappearance material that disappears by firing in a recessed portion formation planned region of the at least one of the plurality of ceramic green sheets; forming a mother multilayer body by laminating the plurality of ceramic green sheets such that the at least the one ceramic green sheet having the disappearance material is positioned on an uppermost layer of the mother multilayer body; and forming a recessed portion in the mother multilayer body before firing by pressing the recessed portion formation planned region of the mother multilayer body.

In some examples, an article may include a substrate and a coating system on the substrate. The coating system may include a layer comprising a plurality of voids, wherein respective voids of the plurality of voids define respective void volumes; and a nucleating agent within at least some of the respective void volumes of the layer, wherein the nucleating agent is configured to induce crystallization of the molten CMAS. The coating system may include an environmental barrier coating, thermal barrier coating, and/or abradable coating.

Aspects of the disclosure provide methods of making a coated filtration material. Various methods include providing a base filter material and applying a first coating to the base filter material, the first coating being in nanoparticle form. A second coating is applied on top of the first coating, the second coating being a nanoscale inorganic material. The method further includes removing the first coating in such a way that the second coating remains on the base filter material. Methods of the disclosure can be used to manufacture coated filtration materials having a coating with a porosity of 90% or greater and a pore size in the range of 0.1-0.5 μm.

Provided is a method of producing a film-coated cylindrical honeycomb structure formed with a coating liquid on an outer portion of a cylindrical honeycomb structure including partition walls and the outer portion, the partition walls forming a plurality of cells, the outer portion serving as a circumferential side. In the method, the cylindrical honeycomb structure is mounted between at least two rollers such that the circumferential side of the cylindrical honeycomb structure contacts with circumferential sides of the rollers, the coating liquid supplied from an application part is deposited on the cylindrical honeycomb structure while being rotated, and then the deposited coating liquid is dried or cured to form the film on the outer portion.
