Coating growth model

The kinetics of coating growth is basically dependent on temperatures. A CVD reaction is divided into either surface kinetic or mass transport control. Figure 11 shows a model as how the growth process depends on the surface kinetics and mass control regimes. is the concentration of the bulk gas and is the concentration at the substrate interface. The concentration of the reactants drops from the bulk to the substrate surface and the corresponding mass flux is given by,...

In 1987 he was promoted to distinguished member of the technical staff and technical manager. His efforts broadened to include projects on polymer-surface interactions adhesion promotion corrosion protection chemical vapor deposition and thin film growth optical fiber coating synthesis, structure, and reactivity of model organic surfaces and time-resolved surface vibrational spectroscopy. 

Although replacing the contacts with silver-free connectors was the long-range solution in submarines and in all other circuit board applications, some short-term preventative measures were desirable in the effort to avoid expensive retrofits. A modified chromate coating process was found to extend useful life of the connectors. Because the nature of the chromate film growth is influenced by the electrochemical behavior of the contacts and impurities, the exact nature of the films formed on real and model contacts was examined as well as effects of impurities.
