| Abstract Scope |
Open-air plasma-assisted processes with liquid precursor injection can deposit functional coatings with a thickness of a few tens of nanometers to a few microns on various material substrates. The combination of the precursor type and plasma processing parameters can control the chemistry and thickness of the resulting coating, enabling functional coatings with desired engineering properties. This work explores the utilization of open-air plasma processes for insulation barrier coatings on printed circuit boards, biodegradable coatings on medical Mg alloys, or corrosion barrier coatings on lightweight automotive materials, such as AZ91D Mg alloy, Al 7075, epoxy composites, or dual-phase steels. Micron and sub-micrometer scale characterization of as-deposited coatings, by SEM, STEM, and EDS, will be presented. To validate if the plasma-processed coatings can meet the desired properties, any relevant data, such as coating electrical resistance or electrochemical resistance/impedance values, will be evaluated and reported in this work. |
