Doped Ceramic Thin Films: A New Approach to In-Line Depositions Paid Members Public
Presented by John Felts, Nano Scale Surface Systems, Inc. With the advent of “Nano” technology, there has been considerable focus on structures and designs, but little attention to how the required “novel” materials can (or will) be made in production environments. One class of materials that will be necessary for
Nano-Composite Polymer Optical Coatings Paid Members Public
Presented by Tom Faris, Vampire Optical Coatings, Inc. Traditionally broadband anti-reflection coatings and index matching coatings for use with high performance transparent conductive oxide coated films have been prepared via multi-layer dielectric materials deposited under vacuum. These coatings typically have thicknesses between 850 and 2000 Angstroms, with relatively low production
Highly Efficient Solar Absorbers Produced by Large Area Electron Beam Deposition Paid Members Public
Presented by J. Faber Cermets based on Al2O3 and Mo have been successfully used as solar absorbers e.g. for concentrating solar power systems. However, its production by DC- and RF-sputtering has extremely low throughput and hence is very expensive. Electron Beam (EB) evaporation is an alternative for Mo and
Microwave Susceptors: 60 Years of Microwave HEating, 40 Years after the Amana Radar Range Paid Members Public
Presented by Wolfgang Decker, VAST FILMS, Ltd.
Target effective emission coefficients during reactive sputtering of oxides and nitrides Paid Members Public
Presented by R. De Gryse, Taiyuan University of Technology In the field of magnetron sputtering, reactive sputtering is becoming more and more important as it allows to widen the scope of materials that can be deposited. Not only high quality metal coatings can be deposited, but also a wide variety
AFM Studies of Corona Treated Biaxially Oriented PET Film Paid Members Public
Presented by Edwin C. Culbertson, Mitsubishi Polyester Film A sixteen run designed experiment was performed on biaxially oriented PET film with line speed and corona treater power setting as variables. The corona treater gap was held constant. Using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), surface topography and compositional variations were measured on
Applied Ergonomic Solutions to Eliminate Hazards in Converting Applications Paid Members Public
Presented by Sean L. Craig Each year converting companies spend billions of dollars in workers’ compensation claims. After all the accounting is complete, those billions of dollars are simply deducted from their bottom line. And while those same companies will spend billions of dollars on new product development in order
Design, Fabrication, and Integration of Thin-Films for Sensing, Shielding and Power Storage Paid Members Public
Presented by Kent Coulter and James Arps, Southwest Research Institute Advanced solid state materials that exhibit magnetostrictive (Fe/FeTb), frequency selective (FeNi/Al2O3), and high power density (LiCO3, Li2VxOy) based on precisely engineered compositional, structural, and interfacial elements are widely reported in the scientific literature but are in the early
