Wear-Resistant Polymeric Articles And Methods Of Making The Same

View page
US Patent:
6582823, Jun 24, 2003
Filed:
Apr 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/304422
Inventors:
Vinay Sakhrani - Raleigh NC
Jerome J. Cuomo - Cary NC
Charles K. Chiklis - Cary NC
Charles Tomasino - Raleigh NC
Assignee:
North Carolina State University - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
B32B 2736
US Classification:
428412, 428420, 428428, 428429, 428447, 428448, 428451
Abstract:
A substantially optically transparent article such as a lens having a wear-resistant surface comprises a substantially optically transparent polymeric substrate (e. g. , a polycarbonate or polymethyl methacrylate substrate), and having a surface portion. A hard antiabrasive interconnecting layer is formed on the surface portion (typically by vacuum deposition and preferably by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition), and a lubricious hydrophobic coating layer is bonded to the interconnecting layer. The lubricious hydrophobic coating layer, together with the hard antiabrasive interconnecting layer, form a wear-resistant surface on the substrate. The lubricious coating layer is formed from a hydrophobic organic lubricant such as a perfluoropolyether, a fatty acid, or a fatty acid esters. Methods of making such articles are also disclosed.

Scratch Resistant Gradient Coating And Coated Articles

US Patent:
7264669, Sep 4, 2007
Filed:
Feb 3, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/050230
Inventors:
Charles Tomasino - Raleigh NC, US
Charles K. Chiklis - Cary NC, US
Vinay G. Sakhrani - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:
Tribofilm Research, Inc. - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
C08G 77/26
US Classification:
10628711, 10628716, 10628714, 528 38, 528 27, 528 34, 428447, 427387, 427489, 427503, 427515
Abstract:
A gradient coating is comprised of a basecoat derived from a polysiloxane prepolymer obtained from a mixture of one to three alkoxysilane monomers and at least one diepoxide monomer, and a lubricious reactant. The basecoat is applied to a substrate and dried. The lubricious reactant is then applied and allowed to permeate into the basecoat. The basecoat and lubricious reactant are then co-cured, resulting in a gradient coating composition. In addition to providing enhanced scratch and mar resistance, the gradient coating composition is solvent resistant and provides a durable hydrophobic and oleophobic surface, which makes it useful as a corrosion protectant and as a release agent.

Mar 2, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/791542
Inventors:
Vinay G. Sakhrani - Raleigh NC, US
Joel L. Williams - Cary NC, US
Charles Tomasino - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:
TriboFilm Research, Inc. - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
A61M 5/178
B32B 17/06
B32B 27/16
B32B 27/32
B32B 33/00
US Classification:
4284111, 428422, 428426, 428523, 604187
Abstract:
A method for preparing one or more lubricated surfaces of an article to reduce the break-out force and sliding frictional force. A lubricant is applied to one or more surfaces, and the lubricant-coated surface is treated by exposing the surface to an energy source, wherein the energy source is an ionizing gas plasma at about atmospheric pressure, gamma radiation, or electron beam radiation. One or more of the surfaces may be exposed to the ionizing gas plasma at about atmospheric pressure prior to application of the lubricant. Another aspect of the invention is articles produced using one or more methods of the invention.

US Patent:
8084103, Dec 27, 2011
Filed:
Jan 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/354950
Inventors:
Vinay G. Sakhrani - Raleigh NC, US
Charles Tomasino - Raleigh NC, US
International Classification:
H05H 1/24
C03C 17/00
C03C 17/34
US Classification:
427535, 65 601, 65 602, 427569
Abstract:
One embodiment comprises a method for increasing the hydrophobic characteristics of a surface. A coupling agent is applied to the surface, and the surface is subsequently exposed to a first ionizing gas plasma at about atmospheric pressure for a predetermined period of time. The ionizing gas plasma may be formed from a mixture of a carrier gas and a reactive gas. The reactive gas may be comprised of one or more hydrocarbon compound such as an alkane, an alkene, and an alkyne. Alternatively, the reactive gas may be a fluorocarbon or organometallic compound. A lubricant may then be applied to the surface, followed by exposure to second ionizing gas plasma.

Inventors:
Vinay G. Sakhrani - Raleigh NC, US
Charles Tomasino - Raleigh NC, US
International Classification:
B23K 9/00
US Classification:
21912147
Abstract:
An apparatus to treat a workpiece with an ionizing gas plasma at about atmospheric pressure. The apparatus may include an outer electrode with at least one opening that also serves to hold the workpiece. An inner electrode may fit at least partially within the workpiece so as to create a plasma discharge zone between the inner electrode and an inner surface of the workpiece. A gas supply manifold may be included that directs a gas into the plasma discharge zone. A power supply may be used to generate an ionizing gas plasma in the plasma discharge zone. In one embodiment, there is a coating on an inner surface of the workpiece.
