The Mechanical Properties of Metal Oxide Coated Polyester Films 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

Doped Ceramic Thin Films: A New Approach to In-Line Depositions 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 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

Target effective emission coefficients during reactive sputtering of oxides and nitrides 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 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
