Abstract:
A method for preserving the precision-edges of a precision-edged substrate by applying to a substrate a corrosion resistant coating comprising a diamond-like solid state material having interpenetrating atomic scale networks comprising a first diamond-like carbon network stabilized by hydrogen, a silicon network stabilized by oxygen, and optionally at least one network made from dopant elements or dopant compounds containing elements from Groups 1-7b and 8 of the periodic table.
Abstract:
A method for inhibiting wear and reducing friction of components in a powertrain assembly comprising applying to said component a coating made from a class of diamond-like solid state materials formed interpenetrating networks comprising a first network of diamond-like carbon stabilized by hydrogen, a silicon network stabilized by oxygen, and optionally at least one network made from dopant elements or dopant compounds containing elements from Groups 1-7b and 8 of the periodic table.
Abstract:
A method of making capacitors (25) comprising, providing as the dielectric (27) and/or conductive layers (26), a material made from a diamond-like nanocomposite solid-state material having interpenetrating atomic scale networks of carbon in a diamond-like carbon network stabilized by hydrogen, a glass-like silicon network stabilized by oxygen, and optionally at least one additional network of dopant elements or dopant compounds having elements from Groups 1-7b and 8 of the periodic table.
Abstract:
An erosion resistant coating for optically transmissive substrates formed from a diamond-like nanocomposite structure which contains interpenetrating networks of a diamond-like carbon matrix stabilized by hydrogen, a silicone glass-like network stabilized by oxygen, and optionally, at least one network formed from elements and compounds from groups 1-7b and 8 of the periodic table.
