Plasma coating refers to a coating that has been deposited on a substrate surface using a plasma system. This plasma technology is used in a number of applications where a very thin and uniform film thickness is required. Common coating materials include chemicals such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride as well as a variety of organic polymer forming species.... Plasma coating applications include coating objects with antiglare, dielectric, water repellent(hydrophobic), heat and chemical resistance coatings.

Hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and electrostatic interactions between the carrier and the substrate and/or effectors often produce an unequal distribution of these species between the micro-and macroenvironment. This is called the partition effect... The most obvious example here would be the case of an enzyme, acting on an cationic substrate, immobilized by attachment to a polyanion(i. e. a negatively charged polymer). The positive substrate would be concentrated around the negative polymer and thus, although the average concentration of the substrate in the system might be low, around the enzyme it will be relatively high. 3, record 7, English, - partitioning%20effect

A careful balance is needed between the amount of rosin required to provide sufficient biocide release and the quantity of the other film-forming components used to make the coating tough and durable. As the rosin content increases the binder system becomes softer and more soluble in seawater whereas a low rosin content makes the binder system virtually insoluble and hard. Antifoulings which are softer and more soluble are known as “controlled depletion polymer”(CDP) or soluble matrix antifoulings, whereas the hard types are known as insoluble matrix or “contact leaching” antifoulings. 3, record 11, English, - controlled%20depletion%20polymer%20antifouling

The real break through(in DVD technology) has come in the chemistry laboratories of Agfa in Belgium, where scientists are experimenting with data storage on a molecular plane, using a layer of photo-addressable polymers on the disc. The polymers have side-chains that rotate into one of 36 positions when subjected to light. Before recording, the polymer layer is opaque. Once subjected to light, the polymer's side-chains rotate to an extent that is controlled by varying the strength of the laser impulse. The laser will not be reading a two-dimensional system of pit/no-pit but a three-dimensional scale of grey dots, corresponding to four bits on each molecule. the twisting molecule discs could be on the market in about 10 years. 1, record 18, English, - molecular%20CD
