  • Patent number: 11702735
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a carbonaceous coating for protection of a passive electrical component from attack by ammonia, wherein the carbonaceous coating is a sol-gel coating or a plasma-polymeric coating. This coating comprises a particular carbon content.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2023
    Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.

  • Patent number: 11646148
    Abstract: The invention relates to a passive electrical component, especially a coil, having an interlayer, wherein the interlayer has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the surface of the passive electrical component covered with the interlayer, and disposed atop that a plasma-polymeric carbon-containing coating having a carbon content measured at a depth of 80 nm away from the side of the plasma-polymeric coating remote from the interlayer, wherein the plasma-polymeric coating comprises a carbon content of 50 to 100 atom %, preferably 50 to 90 atom %, or is configured as an organometallic coating a carbon content of 2 to 50 atom %, in each case measured by means of XPS.

  • Patent number: 8992590
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a crosslinked, silicon-containing layer containing, substantially consisting of or consisting of silicon, O, C, H, optionally N which can be produced by plasma polymerization and/or crosslinking of organosilicon liquids by a plasma process and/or UV radiation of a wavelength of less than 250 nm, without using metals of an atomic number of more than 14, as a biocompatible surface, for imparting to a surface or providing a surface with a non-genotoxic effect. The invention also relates to correspondingly coated articles and to processes for the production thereof.

  • Publication number: 20100173167
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coating method comprising the following steps a) providing a mixture or a pure substance comprising or consisting of inactive, liquid precursors, b) applying a liquid layer made up of the mixture or the pure substance to a surface to be coated, c) crosslinking the liquid precursors by means of radiation having a wavelength of ?250 nm, so that a solid layer is produced from the mixture and the layer comprises ?10 atomic % of C, based on the quantity of the atoms contained in the layer without H and F, and so that the C contained in the layer is at most 50 atomic % of the C, based on the quantity of the C atoms contained in the layer, constituent of a methoxy group. The invention further relates to layers which can be produced or are generated by means of this method and the uses thereof and also to corresponding coated items and the uses thereof.
