疏水增透SiO2膜的制备及其性能研究

以正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)和二甲基二乙氧基硅烷(DDS)为前驱体，在碱催化体系中通过选择合适的原料配比以及对体系溶胶 凝胶过程的控制使DDS和TEOS的水解产物发生共缩聚反应，进而制备出改性的SiO2溶胶，并采用旋转镀膜法(spin coating)直接获得了同时具有良好疏水和增透性能的SiO2光学膜，克服了增透膜防潮性能差的缺点.同时采用透射电子显微镜（TEM）、粒度分布（SDP）等手段研究了不同条件下溶胶的性质及其对膜层性能的影响，并与未经改性的SiO2增透膜进行了比较，结果表明改性后的膜层不仅疏水性大大增加，且在相同镀膜条件下，膜层的厚度随着老化时间的延长增加较小，故其透过率曲线在300～800 nm范围内不易出现多个增透峰.

Sol–gel preparation of antireflective coatings at 351 nm with different thickness and improved moisture-resistance

Antireflective (AR) coatings at 351 nm with different thickness were designed and prepared by sol–gel process using tetraethylorthosilicate as precursor and ammonia as catalyst. The parameters of these coatings, including film thickness and refractive index, were calculated by optical formula and the coatings were prepared accordingly. Sol dilution method was used to adjust the film thickness. The wavelengths of maximum transmission measured by UV–Vis spectrophotometer, were used to monitor the film thickness. It was found that AR coatings with higher thickness possess better abrasion-resistance. Hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was added into pure silica sol to improve both the abrasion-resistance and moisture-resistance of AR coating.     

Sol–gel silica antireflective coating with enhanced abrasion-resistance using polypropylene glycol as porogen

Silica antireflective (AR) coatings with high transmittance and enhanced abrasion-resistance were synthesized by sol–gel process using polypropylene glycol (PPG) as porogen. The effects of molecular weight of PPG and weight ratio of PPG to SiO₂ on the refractive index and abrasion-resistance of the coating were systematically studied and compared with those of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Experimental data showed that the refractive index decreased with increasing the weight ratio to SiO₂ and molecular weight of both PEG and PPG, but PPG was much more effective than PEG. In the case of same molecular weight, PPG modified coating has the higher porosity than PEG modified one. When the weight ratio of PPG to SiO₂ is in a low level, the PPG-containing silica AR coatings exhibit the good abrasion-resistance. PPG is liquid at room temperature and the better solubility than PEG. These effective and economic AR coatings with enhanced abrasion-resistance have potential value in the field of solar thermal collectors.

Preparation and characterization of polyvinyl butyral/silica hybrid antireflective coating: effect of PVB on moisture-resistance and hydrophobicity

A new modified antireflective coating was prepared by base catalyzed sol–gel process using tetraethylorthosilicate as precursor and polyvinyl butyral as modifier. The properties of the silica sols and AR coatings were characterized with Fourier-transfer infrared absorption spectroscopy, particle size analyzer, transmission electron microscope, programmable rheometer, UV–Vis spectrophotometry, ellipsometry, atomic force microscope and contact angle measurement. It was found that addition of 4% PVB greatly enhanced moisture-resistance of the AR coating. Optical transmittance of 4% PVB modified AR coating on BK7 substrate was found to be nearly 100%. The water contact angles of normal and 4% PVB modified AR coating were 51 and 53°, respectively, which indicates no significant increase of hydrophobicity of the modified coating. The peak transmittance of 4% PVB modified AR coating was almost unaffected after being exposed to the moist surroundings while that of normal silica coating decreased sharply from 99.8 to 96.5% within 2 weeks. The excellent moisture-resistance of PVB modified AR coating may be attributed to the adsorption of PVB on the surface of AR coating.     

Effects of aging time on V2O5 sol-gel coatings

Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) sols have been used in conductive coatings and related applications [1, 2, 3]; however, the changes which may occur in the properties of these coatings with sols of different ages have not been carefully shown. Properties which may be dependent on the age of the sol (sol viscosity, film morphology and conductance) were measured in this work. The coating sols were prepared by ion-exchange of sodium metavanadate solutions.It was found that the coating thickness, sol viscosity, and surface morphology of the coatings were directly related to the age of the sol used. The dried coating thickness increased from 3 microns to 20 microns over a 30 day period. The sol viscosity increased from 1 centipoise to near 2 centipoise. The surface morphology of the coatings changed from that of a featureless surface at day 1 to a continual coverage of micron-sized fibers as the coating sols aged. The conductivity of the coatings, though, was unaffected by the age of the sol. The coating properties were correlated to the amount of polymerization of dissolved precursors in solution.     

Growth feature of PTFE coatings on rubber substrate by low‐energy electron beam dispersion

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings were prepared on Si and acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber substrates by low‐energy electron beam dispersion. The effects of substrate nature, distance of target to substrate (d_ts) and coatings thickness on the surface morphology, structure, and tribological properties of the coatings were investigated. The results showed that substrate nature affects the shape and size distribution of surface conglomerations of PTFE coatings due to the interaction process of active dispersion particles with underlying polymer layer. Surface energy of PTFE coatings decreases first with the coatings thickness increases to 1.25 µm and then slowly increases with the thickness. Structure defects (pore, interstice, and so on) in the coatings increase with the thickness increases but reduce significantly with the d_ts increases. PTFE coating prepared at the d_ts of 20 cm had a higher intensity of the amorphous absorption bands. Friction experiment indicated that the destroyed area of the coatings in the friction region decreases with increases the coatings thickness but increases with the d_ts. The rubber modified by PTFE coatings with spherical structure possesses a higher stability in the friction process and a lower coefficient of friction. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
