Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for the formation of an organic coating on a substrate. The method includes: providing a substrate in a vacuum; providing at least one vaporized organic material comprising at least one component from at least one source, wherein the vaporized organic material is capable of condensing in a vacuum of less than about 130 Pa; providing a plasma from at least one source other than the source of the vaporized organic material; directing the vaporized organic material and the plasma toward the substrate; and causing the vaporized organic material to condense and polymerize on the substrate in the presence of the plasma to form an organic coating.

Prismatic Retroreflective Article And Method

US Patent:
7195360, Mar 27, 2007
Filed:
Dec 28, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/023857
Inventors:
Seth M. Kirk - Minneapolis MN, US
Moses M. David - Woodbury MN, US
Michael D. Currens - Eagan MN, US
Osei A. Owusu - Woodbury MN, US
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G02B 5/122
US Classification:
359529
Abstract:
A prismatic retroreflective article has a transparent body portion and a layer of internally reflecting cube-corner optical elements having an open air-exposed rear surface at least a portion of which is more hydrophobic, more oleophobic, or both more hydrophobic and more oleophobic than the underlying cube-corner optical element. The article may be made by providing a transparent body portion bearing a layer of internally reflecting open air-exposed cube-corner optical elements; treating or coating at least a portion of the cube-corner elements to make the treated or coated portion more hydrophobic, more oleophobic, or both more hydrophobic and more oleophobic than the underlying cube-corner optical elements; and leaving such treated or coated portion exposed to the open air.

Methods, Systems, And Polymer Substances Relating To Consideration Of Ho Levels Present Within An Atmospheric-Pressure Nitrogen Dielectric-Barrier Discharge

US Patent:
7442442, Oct 28, 2008
Filed:
Jul 1, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/883263
Inventors:
Mark A. Strobel - Maplewood MN, US
Seth M. Kirk - Minneapolis MN, US
Joel A. Getschel - Osceola WI, US
Matthew J. Skaruppa - Chicago IL, US
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
B05D 3/00
US Classification:
428444
Abstract:
Methods and systems utilize an atmospheric-pressure nitrogen dielectric-barrier discharge to treat the surface of polymer substances. The atmospheric-pressure nitrogen dielectric-discharge may be maintained with a level of HO below a pre-defined amount, such as by measuring and controlling the HO within a treater, to produce a surface treatment for a polymer substance that yields desirable characteristics. Furthermore, the HO level may be measured and controlled according to a pre-defined amount or according to another parameter such as an analysis of the resulting polymer surface. For example, the polymer surface may be provided with an optimal added nitrogen-to-added oxygen ratio and/or an optimal stability based on washed and unwashed advancing contact angles such as by controlling the HO level within the treater based on these analyses of the treated polymer.
