  • Patent number: 7906217
    Abstract: A vapor deposited film is formed on a base material surface by a plasma CVD method where an organic metal compound and an oxidizing gas are used as a reactive gas. The vapor deposited film has three sections of a base material side adhesive layer having 5% or more carbon, a barrier intermediate layer having less than 5% carbon, and a surface protection film having 5% or more carbon, by element concentration with respect to the total amount of three elements of a metal element (M), oxygen (O) and carbon (C) derived from the organic metal compound. The vapor deposited film has excellent adhesiveness to the base material, and has excellent resistance to water, especially to alkaline aqueous solutions, as well.

  • Patent number: 7847209
    Abstract: A method of forming a metal oxide film by the plasma CVD method and which includes reacting chiefly an organometal by a glow discharge in a low output region and, then, reacting the organometal with an oxidizing gas by the glow discharge in a high-output region to form a metal oxide film on the surface of a plastic substrate via an organic layer. This method forms a thin film having excellent adhesiveness, softness and flexibility on the surface of a plastic substrate relying on the plasma CVD method.

  • Publication number: 20090202762
    Abstract: This invention relates to a plastic formed article having a vapor-deposited film on a surface of a plastic substrate by a plasma CVD method, the vapor-deposited film including an organosilicon vapor-deposited layer on the surface of the plastic substrate 1 and containing no oxygen, and a silicon oxide vapor-deposited layer on the organosilicon vapor-deposited layer. The plastic formed article not only features favorable gas-barrier property but also effectively prevents the generation of offensive odor at the time of vapor deposition and, further, offers excellent flavor-retaining property.

  • Patent number: 7488683
    Abstract: A method of forming a vapor deposited film of a silicon oxide on the surface of a substrate by holding the substrate to be treated in a plasma-treating chamber, and effecting the treatment with a chemical plasma by feeding an organosilicon compound and an oxidizing gas into the treating chamber, wherein the rate of feeding the oxidizing gas is varied while maintaining constant the rate of feeding the organosilicon compound gas into the plasma-treating chamber during the formation of the vapor deposited film. A chemical vapor deposited film is formed featuring excellent adhesiveness, softness, flexibility, oxygen-barrier property and water-barrier property.

  • Patent number: 6818310
    Abstract: A silicon oxide film is formed on the surfaces of a plastic substrate and contains methyl groups and methylene groups in a portion near the interface to the plastic substrate. The silicon oxide film exhibits not only excellent adhesion to the plastic substrate, softness and flexibility but also exhibits excellent gas shut-off property (gas barrier property), makes it possible to achieve excellent gas-shutoff property with a smaller film thickness than that of the conventional films, and can be mass-produced favorably.

  • Patent number: 6582778
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of treatment with a microwave plasma by maintaining a reduced pressure in a plasma-treating chamber for treatment with a plasma in which a substrate that is to be treated with a microwave plasma is contained, introducing a treating gas into the plasma-treating chamber and introducing microwaves into the plasma-treating chamber, wherein a metallic antenna is disposed in the plasma-treating chamber. The plasma is generated within a very short period of time maintaining stability after the microwaves are introduced into the plasma-treating chamber, and the treatment is accomplished maintaining stability.
