The Structure-Function Relationships in Laminated Barrier Films
Polymer films have been used in food packaging since the 195O’s, their useage and application becoming more diverse with the increasing demand for convenience foods. The specific areas of interest to this research program are the polymeric films and laminates used in 'boil-in-bag' manufacture, and …

Enhanced surface functionality via plasma modification and plasma deposition techniques to create more biologically relevant materials
… and the functionalized coating to act as a barrier films, adhesion layers, and to increase overall hydrophilicity. However, some wet chemistry techniques can damage the bulk material during processing. This dissertation examines the use of plasma processing as an alternative method for …

Formation of Aluminum Containing Solids in Drinking Water: Influence on Pb/Cu Corrosion, Al Solubility and Enhanced Softening
… anticipated was that these deposits could form barrier films on the pipe, protecting it from corrosion. However, the deposits had slightly detrimental effects on leaching of metal to water, and higher levels of aluminosilicates could further worsen corrosion by-product release. The second phase …

Spontaneous metal deposition from organic solutions for electronic materials applications
… unpatterned pure aluminum and Al(0.5wt%Cu) thin films using this immersion displacement process. The Cu and Pd deposits were effectively used as catalytic sites for subsequent conventional electroless or electrolytic copper deposition.</p> <p>Further studies were performed to modify and optimize …

De-wrinkling of cellulosic barrier materials coated on paper during scale-up on a roll-to-roll system
… the total energy. Such instability of final films affects the uniformity and quality of overall barrier performance, resulting in a lack of consistency, poor adhesion, changes in mechanical properties, and non-uniform barrier properties. Highly wrinkled barrier films could also affect the …

Amine functionalization by initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) for interfacial adhesion and film cohesion
Amine functional polymer thin films provide a versatile platform for subsequent functionalization because of their diverse reactivity. Initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) is a polymer chemical vapor deposition technique that utilizes the delivery of vaporphase monomers to form chemically …
