Two layer coatings

In two-layer coating sterns the best choice is to endow both layers with the barrier effect and choose a binder having good wet adhesion. Other ooimbinations are less effective or even not reasonable (Figure 3).

In actuality, the design of two layer coatings is somewhat more complicated. For the case of a plane acoustic wave incident normal to the surface, and for the worst case of a rigid backing, the reflectivity is as given by Equation 16, but where ...

Figure 6.29 shows, as an example, the effect of surface modification on the sta-bihty of sihcon electrode in an aqueous solution. The bare sihcon surface is quickly passivated in aqueous solution under illumination. Coating the electrode with a layer of either ferrocene or polypyrrole gives an improvement in the stabihty. The stability is further improved by a two-layer coating of ferrocene/polypyrrole as shown in Fig. 6.29. 

Tie and Mo powders were sprayed by the plasma twin-torch process to form an FGM layer over a substrate to be used as an emitter in a thermoionic energy converter. The sprayed TiC coatings showed high absorptance for solar radiation. As compared to Tie monolayer coating and Tie/Mo two-layer coating formed on Mo substrate, FGM coatings performed better in a thermal cycling test. 

Fig. 4 Structre of TiC/Mo FGM coating (coating thickness 320 330p.m ) and TiC-Mo two layer coatings ( coating thickness 320 330p.m) were formed onto Mo substrate.

Firstly, figure 5 shows the typical cross sections of TiC and TiC-Mo two layer coatings observed by SEM. As shown in this figure, some cracks were found in the heat-treated TiC coatings and the TiC layer peeled from Mo substrate after the heat-treatment.. In the heat-treated two layer coatings, there were no cracks in both TiC and Mo layers and the interface between TiC and Mo layers was sound. These results were caused probably by thickness difference of TiC layers between TiC coatings and combination coatings as shown in Fig. 5. 

Secondly, figure 6 shows the distributions of Ti, C, O and Mo near the interface of the TiC and Mo layers in the two layer coatings for the as sprayed and the heat-treated coatings. Elements Ti, C and Mo did not diffuse to the other layer. 

The best-characterized vesicles that bud from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) have a two-layered coat an outer layer composed of the fibrous protein clathrin and an inner layer composed of adapter protein (AP) complexes. Purified clathrin molecules, which have a three-limbed shape, are called triskelions from the Greek for three-legged (Figure 17-19a). Each limb contains one clathrin heavy chain (180,000 MW) and one clathrin light chain...

An Fe-(15-20)Mn(wt-%) 3 g/m electroplated top coat (which forms hardly any powdery hydroxides as corrosion products) is proposed by Ahn et al. (1992) to replace Fe-20Sn, for the outer layer over Fe-Zn in two-layer coatings on painting, which is a problem with the standard two-layer coating, i.e., in either case there is no zinc in the top coat. 

Figure 4.52 illustrates such constructive interference for the example of a two-layer coating. The layers with refractive indices n, U2 and thicknesses d, d2 are evaporated onto an optically smooth substrate with the refractive index U3. The phase differences between all reflected components have to be Sfn = 2rmi (m = 1, 2, 3,...) for constructive interference. Taking into account the phase shift 3 = jr at reflection from an interface with a larger refractive... 

The reflected amplitudes can be calculated from Fresnel s formulas. The total reflected intensity is obtained by summation over all reflected amplitudes taking into account the correct phase. The refractive indices are now selected such that Ai becomes a maximum. The calculation is still feasible for our example of a two-layer coating and yields for the three reflected amplitudes (double reflections are neglected)... 

The other is the AR coating made by sputtering method (Oyama, 1998). In this case the absorbing and low conductivity material TiNxOy is used in the bottom layer. The top layaris SiOa. In spite of two layer coating, the excellent AR property equal to that of the conventional seven-layer coating is obtained.
