Thin plasma polymer films on metal substrates
Mach, Pavel ; Salyk, Ota (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on surface treatments, their evaluation from the point of view visual properties, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and analysis of thin layers prepared by plasma polymerization. The experimental part of the thesis deals with surface treatment of stainless steel AISI 304. Thin layers of pp-HMDSO (plasma-polymer) and of DLC are deposited on the steel´s surface for the purpose of preparing transparent layer, which protect steel´s surface against of making finger prints visible. As an objective method is chosen an immersion test in artificial sweat solution according to standard ČSN EN ISO 105-E04. Evaluation of the test is measured by a gloss-meter and by a colorimeter. Prepared layers are identificated by FTIR method.

SiOx based barrier coatings
Sedláček, Ondřej ; Dzik, Petr (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
The theme of this thesis is based on the preparation and characterization thin films prepared by methods like a Physical Vapor Deposition, Plasma Assisted Vapor Deposition and Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition. The elementary materials for the preparation of these layers are silicon monooxide powder, melamine and hexamethyldisiloxane. These layers have been prepared with regards to their usage like a barrier coatings with emphasis on poisonous organic substances resistance.. We made a characterization of these films. This characterization is consist of researching of their physical properties (the ability to resist permeation of certain organic compounds), and their chemical composition too. We used to some specific method for these characteristics, for example: FTIR, OTR, ellipsometry, SEM and measuring of the permeation of selected industrial pollutants resistance.

Multilayer barrier coatings
Sedláček, Ondřej ; Mazánková, Věra (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
The theme of this work is the preparation and characterization of multilayer barrier coatings to polymer and metal substrates based on SiOx and organic molecules. It deals with the determination of their properties in terms of oxygen permeability and corrosion protection. The starting materials for the preparation of these layers are hexamethyldisiloxane, octafluorocyclobutane and 4,12-dichloro[2.2]paracyclophane. These layers have been prepared with regard to their use as barrier coatings for use in archeology, with the focus on corrosion protection of coated items and other specific requirements museums. For these samples was realized characteristic of both in terms of their physical properties – the ability to resist permeation of oxygen and in terms of their chemical composition. The fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning elektron microscopy (SEM), oxygen transmission rate (OTR), contac angle measurement and corrosion testing were used for the above-mentioned characterisations.

Physical-chemical property characterisation of thin reflective layers on silicon substrates
Rozsívalová, Zdeňka ; Studýnka, Jan (referee) ; Krčma, František (advisor)
This thesis deals with surface analysis and characterization of optical features of thin films created by hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) plasma polymerization on silicon wafers. The RF plasma industrial deposition equipment was used for the thin layers formation. These thin films serve as protective coatings on the reflective layer in the car light or solar panels. Theoretic part gives basic information about plasma, its occurrence, features, diagnostics and applications. Thin layers, their production and characterization are discussed here, too. Theoretic description of monomer material (including the group of other organosilicones) is also presented here. The FTIR spectroscopy and elipsometry are mentioned as the main methods for thin films characterisation. Because material during its practical use degrades due to external conditions, the influence of them on the thin layer properties is studied using the accelerated aging of created films. Industrial deposition chamber AluMet 1800V made by Leybold Optics, Ltd. installed in Zlin Precision company was used for the thin films production. Thin films were created under different conditions that were selelected near to the real conditions used in technology. Various applied powers (2-5 kW) were used for the deposition under different monomer flows. Further, the influence of oxygen addition on the created film properties was investigated. The deposition process was monitored by optical emission spectroscopy. The spectrometer Jobin Yvon Triax 320 with CCD detector was used. The selected part from every samples set was exposed by UV radiation (48 hours at radiation density of 0.68 W/m2 at 340 nm) to simulate the probable conditions during the layers real use. The surface properties were investigated by measurement of reflected light spectral intensity in the visible range at different angles. The angle between incident and reflected beam was varied in the interval of 40 - 150° with 10° step. The influence of sample preparation conditions as well as their aging effect was studied at the selected angles. Spectral reflectance doesn´t depend significantly on applied discharge power and oxygen addition. The significant shift of reflectance into the red part of spectrum was observed at UV exposed samples more or less independently on the applied discharge power of monomer flow rate. Addition of oxygen during the deposition suppresses this effec significantly. Characterization of thin layer structure was done by FTIR spectroscopy. No significant changes were observed in the structure at different discharge powers of monomer flow rates except total absorption intensities that are proportional to the layr thickness. The oxygen addition, of course, changes the structure significantly. These results are only preliminary because the layers were very thin (deposition conditions were near to the common process standard) and thus the signal/noise ratio was relatively low.

Diagnostics of thin film barrier properties
Horák, Jakub ; Mazánková, Věra (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
This thesis is focused on characterization of the SiOx thin layers properties prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). The layers were characterized with regard to its future possible use for the protection of the museum archives against the corrosion. Liquid hexamethyldisiloxane was used as a precursor. Polypropylene foils and silica wafers were used as substrates for thin film preparation. Metal sheets were chosen for corrosion tests. Methods such as permeation rate measurement (oxygen transmission rate - OTR), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ellipsometry and simple corrosion tests of steel sheets coated and uncoated by SiOx thin layer were used for the layer properties characterization.

Plasma treatment of fabrics
STEHLÍK, Radim
The thesis deals with the surface modification of cotton fabric by low-pressure micro-wave plasma discharge. The main materials used for this experiment are cotton fabrics and hexamethyldisiloxane. The experiment itself is focused on the modification of cotton fabric to improve hydrophobic atributes. An argon process gas was used in the surface modification. The individual treated samples were operated with changes in process gas flow and the time during which the above-mentioned modifications was performed. Two methods were used to analyze the results of the experiment. The first one was aimed at determining changes in hydrophobic atributes in the form of wetta-bility in an unmodified sample compared to other modificated samples using the drop-let method. An electron microscope was used for the subsequent study of possible changes in surface topography. From the point of view of the examined results, the difference in hydrophobic properties was observed when using the droplet method to-gether with the change in the topography of the surface obtained on the electron mi-croscope in the cotton samples examined. The actual evaluation of individual methods points to the desirable changes in modified cotton compared to unmodified cotton. Further information regarding the results of the experiment, depending on the changes in individual parameters in the cotton treatment process using low pressure microwave plasma discharge, are presented in thesis.
