  • Publication number: 20170081759
    Abstract: The purpose of the invention is a process for obtaining a material comprising a substrate at least part of whose surface and at least one of whose faces is based on organic compounds, the said process being implemented at atmospheric pressure comprises moreover the following stages: In the immediate vicinity of the substrate, a zone containing active species of a non-thermal plasma is created; into the said zone is injected at least one precursor of a chemical element so as to deposit upon at least one face of the said substrate (at least part of whose surface comprises an organic compound base), a first thin layer capable of protecting the said substrate against oxidation reactions, specifically those due to radicals. A further purpose of the invention is the material obtainable according to this process.

  • Publication number: 20080241523
    Abstract: The invention relates to a substrate of which at least one part of the surface thereof has been rendered hydrophobic and, for said purpose, has a hydrophobic surface structure consisting of an essentially-mineral silicon-containing sub-layer and an outer layer comprising a hydrophobic agent which is grafted onto said sub-layer. The invention is characterised in that the outer hydrophobic agent layer is applied to the sub-layer while the surface of the latter is in an activated state before being brought into contact with said hydrophobic agent. The invention also relates to rain-repellent glass comprising one such substrate, which is particularly suitable for use in the automobile, aviation, construction, electric household appliance and ophthalmic lens industries.

  • Publication number: 20080131616
    Abstract: The purpose of the invention is a process for obtaining a material comprising a substrate at least part of whose surface and at least one of whose faces is based on organic compounds, the said process being implemented at atmospheric pressure and without heating the entire substrate. The said process comprises moreover the following stages: In the immediate vicinity of the said substrate a zone containing active species of a non-thermal plasma is created. Into the said zone is injected at least one precursor of a chemical element so as to deposit upon at least one face of the said substrate (at least part of whose surface comprises an organic compound base), a first thin layer capable of protecting the said substrate against oxidation reactions, specifically those due to radicals. A further purpose of the invention is the material obtainable according to this process.
