Abstract:
An organic molecular film forming apparatus 100 of forming an organic molecular film on a processing target object includes a processing chamber 11 that accommodates therein the processing target object; an organic material gas supplying unit 2 that supplies an organic material gas into the processing chamber 11; and an ultraviolet ray irradiating unit 13 that irradiates ultraviolet ray to at least one of the processing target object, the organic material gas supplied to the processing target object, and a film formed on a surface of the processing target object. At least one of the surface of the processing target object and the organic molecular film formed thereon is activated by irradiating the ultraviolet ray from the ultraviolet ray irradiating unit 13 to at least one of the processing target object, the organic material gas supplied to the processing target object, and the film formed on the processing target object.
Abstract:
A process using ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 160 to 500 nanometers without higher wavelengths and a high intensity between about 1 and 40 watts/cm2 to surface treat a carbon containing fiber is described. The treated fiber contains an enhanced amount of oxygen on the surface which significantly improves the bondability of the fiber in composites.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for functionalising a surface of a solid substrate with at least one acrylic acid polymer layer, said method including the steps of: i) placing the surface in contact with a solution having of at least one acrylic acid homopolymer, a solvent and, optionally, metal salts; ii) removing the solvent from the solution in contact with the surface; and iii) binding the polymer to the surface by thermal treatment.
Abstract:
A system and method for depositing a coating may comprise a coating chemical reactor, surface activation component, and a deposition component. A target surface may be prepared for deposition with the surface activation component. The coating chemical reactor may comprise a coating chemical dispenser and a coating chemical verifier that prepares the coating chemical for deposition. The coating chemical verifier may utilize an optical excitation source and at least one optical detector, wherein chemical substances are identified by unique signatures composed of binary code. The coating chemical may be received by the deposition component to depositing the coating chemical on the target surface.
Abstract:
We have developed an improved vapor-phase deposition method and apparatus for the application of layers and coatings on various substrates. The method and apparatus are useful in the fabrication of biofunctional devices, Bio-MEMS devices, and in the fabrication of microfluidic devices for biological applications. In one important embodiment, a siloxane substrate surface is treated using a combination of ozone and UV radiation to render the siloxane surface more hydrophilic, and subsequently a functional coating is applied in-situ over the treated surface of the siloxane substrate.
Abstract:
A method using irradiation with optical light in the presence of a chemical dissolved in a solvent which chemical reacts with the surface in the presence of the irradiation to modify the surface (12A, 104A, 202A, 304A, 402A, 502A) of a substrate (12, 104, 202, 304, 402, 502) is described. The light can be pulsed or continuous. The method is significantly enhanced by the presence of water (14, 124, 204, 308, 410, 508) as the solvent containing the dissolved chemical on the surface. The treated surfaces are more paintable and bondable.
