  • Patent number: 9290837
    Abstract: A technique for forming an organic polymer thin film on a surface of a substrate with high film formation efficiency and excellent reproducibility and stability is provided. When a vacuum deposition polymerization for forming an organic polymer thin film is performed on a surface of a substrate repeatedly, in which a plurality of kinds of monomers evaporated in a plurality of evaporation source containers in vacuum state are introduced into a deposition chamber in a vacuum state and polymerized on a surface of the substrate arranged in the deposition chamber, each of the monomers in a liquid form is present in the evaporation source containers in a constant amount every time, at the beginning of the evaporation operation of monomers.

  • Patent number: 8524369
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for laminating a decorative metal film on a resin base material with excellent adhesion to the resin base material and with a sufficient gloss imparted to the decorative metal film, and a resin base material having a decorative metal film. The method laminates a polymeric planarizing film on the resin base material using a vapor deposition polymerization method, and then laminates the decorative metal film on the planarizing film.

  • Publication number: 20100119712
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to prepare a polyurea film with excellent transparency, light resistance and mass-scale productivity on a substrate of a resin-molded article by a method of vacuum deposition polymerization. A polyurea film obtained by vacuum deposition polymerization of an aromatic alkyl-, alicyclic- or aliphatic diisocyanate monomer and an aromatic alkyl-, alicyclic- or aliphatic diamine monomer, where the diisocyanate monomer and the diamine monomer are selected from diisocyanate monomers and diamine monomers in a relation such that the difference in the activation energy required for the elimination from a substrate between these monomers is 10 kJ or less.

  • Patent number: 7279543
    Abstract: An anti-bacterial polymer of the present invention consists of a vapor deposition-polymerization reaction product of a diaminobenzoic acid monomer or halogen atom-containing diamine monomer and a monomer reactive with these monomers. The anti-bacterial polymer can be prepared by a method, which comprises the step of subjecting a gas obtained by evaporating a diaminobenzoic acid monomer or halogen atom-containing diamine monomer and a gas obtained by evaporating a monomer reactive with these monomers to vapor deposition-polymerization, in a vacuum, to thus form an anti-bacterial polymer. The method permits the formation of a film having a desired thickness even on the surface having a complicated shape such as the surface of, for instance, a heat exchanger.
