Abstract

Initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) is a novel process capable of producing a range of polymeric and multifunctional nanocoatings. The process utilizes hot filaments to drive gas phase chemistry which enables the deposition of true linear polymers rather than the highly crosslinked organic networks often associated with plasma enhanced CVD. Importantly, the object to be coated remains at room temperature, which means that nanothin coatings can be prepared on materials ranging from plastics to metals. The process is also conformal, which means it provides uniform coverage on objects which have small, complex, 3D geometries.
