The phrase "altered by coating" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where a surface or material has been changed or modified through the application of a coating.
Example: "The metal surface was altered by coating it with a protective layer to prevent rust."
Alternatives: "modified through coating" or "changed by applying a coating".
XRD studies showed that the values of the lattice parameters, a and c, were altered by the coating, indicating that substitutional compounds might have formed on the surface upon calcination.
In conclusion, we found that reaction orders are not significantly altered by KOH coating and are still in good agreement with kinetic data for the Pt/alumina WGSR catalyst reported in the literature.
It was also found that the pore structures and electrical properties of the material were also altered by the sputter coating of copper.
Compared with the standard diffraction data of chalcopyrite CIS, the three major peaks are observed to shift to larger angles, suggesting that the crystal structure of the CIS NC was slightly altered by ZnS shell coating.
EIS studies in the coating solution revealed the coating growth was altered by Gel addition and influenced the corrosion performance.
The heat input and coating thickness were altered by varying the deposition speed.
Immunodominant regions of the minor coat protein, pIII, were removed from the phage surface by excising its N1 and N2 domains (Δ3 phage variant), whereas immunodominant epitopes of the major coat protein, pVIII, were altered by reducing the charge of its surface-exposed N-terminal residues (Δ8 phage variant).
However, the means by which the functional performance of such microparticles is altered by the behaviour of the polymers in the microparticle coat remains unclear.
Careful image analyses of the cross-section of the indented area show that the ceramic top coat undergoes a complex damage evolution during indentation that is altered by thermal treatment.
The optical, electronic properties and polymer chain packing of the nanostructures can be altered by changing the templating technique and parameters such as varying the annealing temperature, infiltration time, spin coating rate, polymer concentration and type of solvents[8 11].
