Mullite is one of the popular ceramic materials for different engineering applications due to some of its important properties which include good thermal and chemical stability, high creep resistance, etc. Mullite synthesized by solgel process generally requires lower temperature for processing and generate product with better homogeneity and more purity compared with other conventional processes. Coating of solgel‐derived mullite film on surface of a ceramic substrate can improve its thermomechanical properties, making it suitable for applications in different aggravated conditions. This study embarks a comprehensive review on synthesis, characterization and applications of solgel‐derived mullite coating.
