Elastomer treatment by arc metal deposition assisted with self-ion irradiation

Magnetron reactively sputtered Ti-DLC coatings on HNBR rubber: The influence of substrate bias

“…However, for soft polymer or rubber substrates, the flexibility of the coatings also plays an important role because they have to accommodate the large strain of the substrates under applied loads. Metallic coatings such as Mg, Cu, Al, Ag Ti, Cr, Zr, Mo, W have been deposited on polymer [1] and rubber [2,3] substrates. It is found that the formation of metal atoms complexes with the oxygen at the interface promotes a subsequent increase in the adhesion.…”

Influence of the Free Energy Density on the Coating of Rubber by Ion-Assisted Application of Thin Films

“…However, the results obtained during experiments on studying the adhesion stability of coatings on rubber by the pin pull test showed that, on detachment of the punch from specimens modifi ed with coatings based both on Ti, Zr, and Mo and on graphite with an assisting-ion energy of 3 keV, the bulk of the rubber is not disturbed (Figure 3), which indicates that, on detachment of the punch, adhesive failure occurs. This result is inconsistent with data obtained earlier with an assisting-ion energy of 20 keV [11][12][13]. Tashlykov et al [11,12] and Balapanov and Avramov [13] showed that, on detachment of the punch from a specimen of modifi ed rubber, cohesive failure occurs at the "body" of the rubber.…”

Self-Ion Assisted Modification of Elastomer and Its Micro- and Macroscopic Properties

“…The presence of topography on layers produced by ion--assisted deposition is known [4] and was explained quantitatively on a basis of build up in. In the case of the modication of the rubber surface by SIAD wrinkling of the deposited layers can be signicantly promote by the nonrigid nature of a substrate.…”

“…In our study coating/rubber structures have been prepared by a method which we called the self-ion-assisted deposition technique (SIAD) [3]. The recent work describes the composition of Me (Cr, Zr, Mo, Ti, W)-based thin lm deposited on rubber with a sulfuric vulcanizing group, the friction properties of the modied rubber and presents some data about the bonding between rubber and the coatings [4]. In this paper we will consider the results of surface modication of rubber with peroxide vulcanizing group by Zr + ions.…”
