Abstract: A process for depositing a layer of a plasma polymerized organosiloxane, siloxane or silicon oxide onto the surface of an organic polymeric substrate by atmospheric pressure glow discharge deposition from a gaseous mixture comprising a silicon containing compound and an oxidant, characterized in that the oxidant comprises N2O.

Abstract: A process for creating plasma polymerized deposition on a substrate by a corona discharge is described. The corona discharge is created between an electrode and a counterelectrode supporting a substrate. A mixture of a balance gas and a working gas is flowed rapidly through the electrode, plasma polymerized by corona discharge, and deposited onto the substrate as an optically clear coating or to create surface modification. The process, which is preferably carried out at or near atmospheric pressure, can be designed to create an optically clear powder-free or virtually powder free deposit of polymerized plasma that provides a substrate with properties such as surface modification, chemical resistance, and barrier to gases.
