Methods for creating coatings composed of a single material or a composite of multiple materials, beginning with ESC to deposit the base layer and then using other methods for the binding step beyond CVI. Also, for certain materials and applications, some pre-processing or pre-treatment of the coating materials is necessary prior to deposition in order to achieve a satisfactory coating. This application discloses methods for pre-deposition treatment of materials prior to ESC deposition. It also discloses methods for post-processing that provide additional functionality or performance characteristics of the coating. Finally, this application discloses certain apparatus and equipment for accomplishing the methods described herein.

1. A method for coating a substrate with a deposition material comprising a powder, comprising the steps of: (a) applying a pre-deposition treatment to the deposition material, wherein said applying a pre-deposition treatment step comprises a step of de-agglomerating the deposition material;(b) directing the deposition material onto the substrate by means of electrostatic charging, wherein the deposition material is directed into a flow path of a nozzle of an electrostatic charging unit through a plurality of powder inlets positioned around the flow path of the nozzle, at least one powder inlet forming an acute angle with the flow path of the nozzle, wherein main feed air is directed into the flow path of a nozzle of the electrostatic charging unit through a booster air inlet positioned in the flow path at a position that is upstream of the position in the flow path of the plurality of powder inlets, and wherein additional air is directed tangentially into the nozzle through a plurality of vortex inlets downstream of the position in the flow path of the plurality of powder inlets, each vortex inlet connecting at a tangential angle to the nozzle, whereby a vortex is created within the nozzle by air entering the nozzle through the plurality of vortex inlets; and(c) applying a sintering treatment to the substrate whereby the deposition material is adhered to the substrate. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said directing the deposition material onto the substrate step further comprises the step of manipulating the substrate and wherein said manipulating substrate step comprises the step of rotating the substrate on a stage. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the deposition material comprises at least one of the set comprising carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides, borides, oxides, sulfides, and silicides. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the deposition material comprises boron nitride. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of applying a sintering treatment comprises at least one of the set of microwave sintering, laser sintering, and infrared sintering. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said pre-deposition treatment step comprises the step of fluidizing the deposition material. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein said pre-deposition treatment step comprises the step of fluidizing the deposition material aerodynamically wherein the deposition material is disposed as a fluidized bed on a fluidizer plate that receives a supply of compressed air passed through a desiccant and through the fluidizer plate. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said fluidizing step further comprises the step of vibrating the deposition material. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein said fluidizing step comprises the step of sieving the deposition material. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said de-agglomerating step is performed by means of a jet mill. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said de-agglomerating step is performed by means of dispersing the deposition material in a non-aerosol dispersion liquid. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said de-agglomerating step further comprises the step of applying sonication to the dispersion liquid. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein said de-agglomerating step further comprises the step of aerosolizing the dispersion liquid. 14. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of applying an ultrasonic vibration to the dispersion liquid. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein said pre-deposition step further comprises the step of functionalizing the deposition material. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein said functionalization step comprises the step of overcoating the substrate. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein said functionalization step comprises the step of dispersing the deposition material in a mixture comprising a liquid and a surfactant. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising the step of applying sonication to the mixture. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the deposition material comprises micro-sized particles. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the deposition material comprises nano-sized particles. 21. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of directing an agent material to the substrate subsequent to said step of applying a sintering treatment to the substrate. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the agent material comprises an active biological agent. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein the active biological agent comprises one of a biocidal and anti-bacterial agent. 24. The method of claim 21, wherein the agent material comprises a bone-morphogenic protein. 25. The method of claim 21, wherein the agent material comprises a drug-carrying agent. 26. The method of claim 1, wherein the booster air inlet is coaxial with the nozzle. 27. The method of claim 1, wherein the booster air inlet is configured to direct air in a direction toward an outlet of the nozzle.
