Vacuum Metallizing & Coating
Design and Manufacture of Roll-to-Roll Processable In-Plane Thermoelectric Generator Devices Paid Members Public
Presented by Xiaohang Cai, University of Oxford In-plane thin-film thermoelectric generators are a compelling route toward flexible lightweight power systems in next-generation wearable and portable devices, but their performance is currently limited by the intrinsic brittleness of inorganic thermoelectric materials and integration challenges with deformable substrates. This work addresses these
Advances in Inline Vacuum Top Coating Paid Members Public
Presented by Shahab Jahromi, Knowfort Technologies BV Reactive evaporation of aluminum using an industrial ‘boat-type’ roll-to-roll metallizer offers a cost-effective way of producing transparent barrier layers. Aluminum oxide (AlOx) layers produced in this way are however brittle resulting barrier deterioration during downstream steps like direct printing and most importantly Retort

Web Tension Measuring Technology and Rollers are Inseparable Paid Members Public
Presented by Bill Stahl, INOMETA, Inc In recent years, the speed with which materials are manufactured, printed, coated, wrapped and cut has increased many times over. These largely automatic, recipe-controlled processes run without manual intervention. Therefore, web tension measurement is of essence. Accurate measurement results are obtained when guide rollers
Vacuum Coating Process Solutions for Added Value Packaging Performance Paid Members Public
Presented by Carolin Struller, Bobst Manchester Performance requirements and expectations for metallized polymer films have become more demanding and challenging over the last decade, especially with the added drive towards sustainability and target of cost reduction via downgauging and packaging structure simplification. With the work presented here, different roll-to-roll vacuum
Process Development and Validation of Complex Multi-Layer Dielectric Thin Films on R2R Vacuum Coater Paid Members Public
Presented by Mike Simmons, Intellivation LLC Large area web coating is an efficient way to manufacture thin film coatings, but challenges exist when producing sophisticated multi-layer dielectric coatings by reactive magnetron sputtering because the reactive working gas distribution and concentration each contribute to the characteristics of the deposited film. In
