Vacuum coating technique

For molded-plastic patls, vacuum coating techniques are increasingly replacing conventional coating methods, such as electroplating. For example, using vacuum coaling methods, automobile reflectors obtain a mirror-like surface, plastic articles in the furniture, decoration, clock and vratch as ell as electronics industry are metal-coated and optical effects are created on articles in the decoration industry. 

Strength 2) special high temperature alloys (qv) and (i) vacuum-plasma coating techniques refined in the 1990s (see Plasma technology Refractory COATRJGS). 

The NSOM tip is obtained by heating and pulling a single-mode optical fiber down to a fine point. A reflective metal coating (aluminum, silver or gold) is deposited by vacuum evaporative techniques in order to prevent light from escaping. 

ATR studies of the biocorrosion of submerged copper surfaces have been reported. The IRE of a cylindrical internal reflectance cell (CIRCLE) was coated with a thin copper layer via a vacuum deposition technique (105). The copper layer reduces the sampling depth of the radiation outward from the surface of the IRE. Therefore, the intensity of the water bending band will vary with copper layer thicknesses of 4.1 nm or less. The copper layers were shown to be stable to exposure to water alone, but the presence of acidic polysaccahrides in the water caused a reduction in the copper layer thicknesses (106.107). The adsorption of a model compound, Gum Arabic, onto the coated IRE was detected by increases in the C-O stretching band of the pyranose units near 1050 cm"1 (106). 

Porous structure of the outer support surface has been modified by deposition of the additional layer of metal Ni. Two vacuum condensation techniques have been used for nickel deposition dc ion magnetron sputtering and electron beam evaporation. To produce coatings on tubes additional installation for dc sputtering has been designed. 

B) Freeze/thaw/vacuum drying technique is particularly effective with catalogs and journals containing coated paper (4). 

Numerous methods have been described in the literature for depositing coatings onto piezoelectric acoustic sensors. They generally fall into three categories solvent casting techniques, vacuum deposition techniques, and vapor-phase deposition techniques. 

The vacuum evaporation process and polymer slurry process are quite new relative to the others and have the potential to provide more control in the processing, in the case of the vacuum evaporation technique, or greatly reduce the cost and environmental concerns of pack aluminizing with the polymer slurry methods. The vacuum evaporation process allows one to diffuse other elements than A1 into the steels or to deposit FeAl coatings directly onto the surface of the steels, with A1 diffusion occurring to help bond the deposited coating. ... 

For instance, a dip-coating technique can be used to prepare GaN films from either [Ga(N3)3]o= or the base-stabilized species . A unique azide that contains no carbon or hydrogen is [Cl2GaN3]3. It can be used to form GaN under ultra high vacuum CVD conditions . A related derivative, monomeric Cl2GaN3-NMe3, has a higher vapor pressure and can be used to form pure GaN (1-2 atom % carbon and chlorine) more effectively ... 

The existing OLED fabrication procedures fall into two major categories (1) thermal vacuum evaporation of the organic layers in small molecular OLEDs, and (2) wet coating techniques of the polymer layers in PLEDs.
