Oberflächenfunktionalisierung von Kunststoffoptik

Surface Functionalization of Polymer Optics Transparent plastics have been used for optical applications with growing demand. This development is accompanied by a desire for extended surface functionalities like antireflection and hardening. Coating processes well established for glass optics cannot be applied in most cases. A manifold of polymer materials with different chemical surface states require special coating deposition parameters. In the first part of the tutorial the main plastic materials are introduced and their properties which are important for the vacuum deposition processes will be discussed.
