Permeation barrier properties of thin oxide films on flexible polymer substrates

Dual phase titanium alloy hot forging process design: experiments and numerical modeling

“…To enhance the durability of thermochromic VO 2 films, bilayer coatings as VO 2 /TiO 2 /ZnO, VO 2 /SiO 2 / ZnO, and VO 2 /SiO 2 /TiO 2 have been studied [88]. In this study, VO 2 films with TiO 2 /ZnO protective coatings have been demonstrated higher antioxidant activity under aging tests, which can be attributed to the different oxygen permeability through different inorganic films [89]. Zhan et al [90] fabricated a complicated multilayer structure of SiN x / NiCrO x /SiN x /VO x /SiN x /NiCrO x /SiN x , which exhibits enhanced thermal stability up to 375°C.…”

Recent Progress in Gas Barrier Thin Film Coatings on PET Bottles in Food and Beverage Applications

“…Nowadays, types of metal oxides and nitrides, as well as carbons, are known to be possible to function as gas barrier thin films [23]. Carbon and silicate oxide thin films are, however, only two thin film materials available for mass production technologies for gas barrier enhanced PET bottles.…”

Perhydropolysilazane derived silica for flexible transparent barrier foils using a reel-to-reel wet coating technique: Single- and multilayer structures

“…Those can even be applied as a very thin layer but with the loss of optical transparency as a disadvantage [6,7]. Suitable candidates for transparent layers are for instance AlO x , Al 2 O 3 , SiO x , TiO x , SiN x , Si 3 N 4 , SiON, and ZnO, whose application requires vacuum processes (physical vapor deposition (PVD)/chemical vapor deposition (CVD)/atomic layer deposition (ALD)) in general [8]. At least, ultra high barriers with the aimed values for the protection of plastic electronics can be obtained by using those inorganic layers in an alternating inorganic-organic multilayer setup [9][10][11].…”
