  • Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition of Organic Polymers
    processes Review Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition of Organic Polymers Gerhard Franz Department of Applied Sciences and Mechatronics, Munich University of Applied Sciences (MUAS), 34 Lothstrasse, Munich, D-80335 Bavaria, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) with its plasma-enhanced variation (PECVD) is a mighty instrument in the toolbox of surface refinement to cover it with a layer with very even thickness. Remarkable the lateral and vertical conformity which is second to none. Originating from the evaporation of elements, this was soon applied to deposit compound layers by simultaneous evaporation of two or three elemental sources and today, CVD is rather applied for vaporous reactants, whereas the evaporation of solid sources has almost completely shifted to epitaxial processes with even lower deposition rates but growth which is adapted to the crystalline substrate. CVD means first breaking of chemical bonds which is followed by an atomic reorientation. As result, a new compound has been generated. Breaking of bonds requires energy, i.e., heat. Therefore, it was a giant step forward to use plasmas for this rate-limiting step. In most cases, the maximum temperature could be significantly reduced, and eventually, also organic compounds moved into the preparative focus. Even molecules with saturated bonds (CH4) were subjected to plasmas—and the result was diamond! In this article, some of these strategies are portrayed. One issue is the variety of reaction paths which can happen in a low-pressure plasma. It can act as a source for deposition and etching which turn out to be two sides of the same medal.

  • Bitumen Coating and Polyethylene Sheeting on Concrete Piles
    SECTION 459 BITUMEN COATING AND POLYETHYLENE SHEETING ON CONCRETE PILES 459-1 Description. Furnish and apply bituminous coating and primer, or install polyethylene sheeting and lubricant to prestressed concrete piles. 459-2 Materials. 459-2.1 Bituminous Coating: Use an asphalt type bituminous coating meeting the requirements of Section 916, with a minimum viscosity (at 140ºF) of 3,000 poises and a maximum of 1,000 poises. Apply bituminous coating uniformly over an asphalt primer. 459-2.2 Primer: Meet the requirements of ASTM-D 41. 459-2.3 Polyethylene Sheeting: Use polyethylene sheeting that is 6 mils thick and is clean, new and has a smooth surface. 459-2.4 Lubricant: Use a lubricant between the two layers of sheeting that is either a vegetable oil or other approved environmentally and functionally acceptable lubricant. 459-3 Construction Requirements. Before surfaces are coated with bitumen, dry and thoroughly clean them of dust and loose materials. Do not apply primer or bitumen in wet weather or when the temperature is below 65ºF. Apply the primer to the surfaces and allow it to dry completely before applying the bituminous coating. Apply primer uniformly at the quantity of 1 gal/100 ft2 of surface. Apply bitumen uniformly at a temperature of not less than 300ºF, or more than 350ºF, and apply either by mopping, brushing, or spraying at the project site. Completely fill all holes or depressions in the concrete surface with bitumen. Apply the bituminous coating to a minimum dry thickness of 1/8 inch, but not less than 8 gal/100 ft2.

  • Conservation of Coated and Specialty Papers
    RELACT HISTORY, TECHNOLOGY, AND TREATMENT OF SPECIALTY PAPERS FOUND IN ARCHIVES, LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS: TRACING AND PIGMENT-COATED PAPERS By Dianne van der Reyden (Revised from the following publications: Pigment-coated papers I & II: history and technology / van der Reyden, Dianne; Mosier, Erika; Baker, Mary , In: Triennial meeting (10th), Washington, DC, 22-27 August 1993: preprints / Paris: ICOM , 1993, and Effects of aging and solvent treatments on some properties of contemporary tracing papers / van der Reyden, Dianne; Hofmann, Christa; Baker, Mary, In: Journal of the American Institute for Conservation, 1993) ABSTRACT Museums, libraries, and archives contain large collections of pigment-coated and tracing papers. These papers are produced by specially formulated compositions and manufacturing procedures that make them particularly vulnerable to damage as well as reactive to solvents used in conservation treatments. In order to evaluate the effects of solvents on such papers, several research projects were designed to consider the variables of paper composition, properties, and aging, as well as type of solvent and technique of solvent application. This paper summarizes findings for materials characterization, degradative effects of aging, and some effects of solvents used for stain reduction, and humidification and flattening, of pigment-coated and modern tracing papers. Pigment-coated papers have been used, virtually since the beginning of papermaking history, for their special properties of gloss and brightness. These properties, however, may render coated papers more susceptible to certain types of damage (surface marring, embedded grime, and stains) and more reactive to certain conservation treatments. Several research projects have been undertaken to characterize paper coating compositions (by SEM/EDS and FTIR) and appearance properties (by SEM imaging of surface structure and quantitative measurements of color and gloss) in order to evaluate changes that might occur following application of solvents used in conservation treatments.

Dahiya, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— Printing sensors and electronics over flexible substrates are an area of significant interest due to low-cost fab- rication and possibility of obtaining multifunctional electronics over large areas. Over the years, a number of printing technolo- gies have been developed to pattern a wide range of electronic materials on diverse substrates. As further expansion of printed technologies is expected in future for sensors and electronics, it is opportune to review the common features, the complementarities, and the challenges associated with various printing technologies. This paper presents a comprehensive review of various printing technologies, commonly used substrates and electronic materials. Various solution/dry printing and contact/noncontact printing technologies have been assessed on the basis of technological, materials, and process-related developments in the field. Fig. 1.

  • Advance Deposition Techniques for Thin Film and Coating 139
    ProvisionalChapter chapter 8 Advance Deposition Techniques forfor ThinThin FilmFilm andand Coating Coating Asim Jilani, Mohamed Shaaban Abdel-wahab and Asim Jilani , Mohamed Shaaban Abdel-wahab and Ahmed Hosny Hammad Ahmed Hosny Hammad Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/65702 Abstract Thin films have a great impact on the modern era of technology. Thin films are considered as backbone for advanced applications in the various fields such as optical devices, environmental applications, telecommunications devices, energy storage devices, and so on . The crucial issue for all applications of thin films depends on their morphology and the stability. The morphology of the thin films strongly hinges on deposition techniques. Thin films can be deposited by the physical and chemical routes. In this chapter, we discuss some advance techniques and principles of thin-film depositions. The vacuum thermal evaporation technique, electron beam evaporation, pulsed-layer deposition, direct current/radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and chemical route deposition systems will be discussed in detail. Keywords: thin films, coatings, physical deposition, sol-gel, chemical bath deposition, chemical route 1. Introduction Nowadays, most of the technologies are used for minimizing the materials into nano-size as well as nano-thickness leading to the emergence of new and unique behaviors of such materials in optical, electrical, optoelectronic, dielectric applications, and so on. Hence, a new branch of science/materials science is called thin films or coatings. Thin film can be defined as a thin layer of material, where the thickness is varied from several nanometers to few micrometers.
