Influence of structural feature of aluminum coatings on mechanical and water barrier properties of metallized PET films

Abstract: This article focuses on description and evaluation of multilayer films, which are used for vacuum insulation panels (VIP). The materials investigated include a neat polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and PET films coated by chemical vapor deposition with different aluminum thicknesses. The aim of these investigations was to evaluate the influence of structural features on the physical properties of Al/PET systems. The morphological analyzes associated to water vapor permeability measurements showed that the meta… Show more

“…1b). Despite being only the limit for our detection technique, this value is already nearly two orders of magnitude lower than water transparency for the industry-standard barrier films (aluminized PET) 30 . Note that the HI-RGO membranes were impermeable under both liquid and vapour conditions, with the former studied by using the same container but turned upside down so that liquid water was in direct contact with the membranes (See methods).…”

“…A separate study outlines that the most important element in VIP long term performance is the barrier of water and gas (Garnier et al, 2010). In this analysis, electrical resistivity was used to determine the thickness of the aluminum coating materials as a component affecting vapour permeability.…”

“…the top of the point is the corresponding aluminum thickness for polymer-metal films. (Garnier et al, 2010) This analysis also identifies the effect of pinholes in the film on the overall permeance of the panels. The permeance increased linearly with the increased percentage of pinholes in the metallic foil.…”

“…In order to meet the gas barrier performance of PET food packaging film, a large number of modifications of PET film's surface have been carried out in 4 recent years. The main methods to improve the properties of PET films are multi-layer composite modification, coating modification, blending modification, surface evaporation modification and nano-composite [5][6][7][8] modification and so on, among which coating modification is the most time-saving and inexpensive method, and it can improve the gas 9,10 barrier.…”
