  • Publication number: 20040149026
    Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, a method and system are provided for analyzing the adhesion of a coating. The method comprises the steps of directing light into the coating, using an image detector to collect light and fluorescence images from the coating/substrate combination, and applying a set of analysis tests to the collected light and fluorescence images. In another aspect of the invention, a method and system are provided for quantitatively analyzing the spatially resolved curing condition of a coating. The method comprises the steps of providing a coating with a fluorophore that is responsive to a defined curing condition, applying the coating onto a substrate, and using the defined curing process to cure the coating. The method comprises the further steps of using an image detector to collect fluroescence image from the coating, and applying a set of analysis tests to the fluorescence image.

  • Publication number: 20040150827
    Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for measuring barrier properties of a barrier coating or coating arrays where each barrier coating has a small cross section. To reduce the edge effects in the measurements of barrier properties, measurements are made using a substrate which can be flat, cylindrical or spherical structure coated with a chemically sensitive layer, a solvent resistant layer and an array of barrier coatings. The coated substrate which can be flat, cylindrical or spherical is exposed to a material of interest that has the ability to produce an analyzable variation in the chemically sensitive layer, thereby providing the ability to detect an impact of the material of interest on the barrier coatings.
