Aluminum Wire in Metallizing Paid Members Public
Presented by Kevin Hunter, Shaped Wire/Solon Specialty Wire Legget & Platt Inc. Aluminum Wire is one of the primary consumables in today’s vacuum metallizing industry for flexible packaging and other applications. Typically when problems are encountered, the aluminum is often overlooked based on the past history and experience
New Methods to Analyze the Steel to Rubber Roller Interface Paid Members Public
Presented by Stephen Huff, ABBA Rubber Intl. Common to most converting lines are nip rollers. These roller-to-roller interfaces perform many different tasks from conveying the web through the machine to performing complicated processing steps. Most of the knowledge base on nips comes from experience or “rule of thumb.” Data explaining
The Mechanical Properties of Metal Oxide Coated Polyester Films Paid Members Public
Presented by B.M. Henry, University of Oxford This communication reports on a study of the microstructure, mechanical and gas barrier properties of PECVD metal oxide coatings on heat stabilised (HS) PET [poly(ethylene terephthalate)],, primer-coated HS PET, filled PET and PEN [poly(ethylene naphthalate)] substrates. The coatings are highly
Contribution of Plasma in Vacuum Al Metallized Polyester Film Paid Members Public
Presented by B.N. Gupta, Polyplex Corporation Ltd. Different methods are available for surface preparation/treatment in polymeric film in converting industry, out of which, plasma surface treatment is rapidly gaining acceptance as a commercial tool for modifying the surface properties of polymer films for different conversion processes like metallizing,

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
