Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for coating substrates with inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material, as well as to a plasma coating apparatus suitable for use in the methods.
- Substrates, such as plastic substrates, coated with the inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material according to the coating methods of the invention have excellent surface properties, in particular barrier properties against oxygen permeation and scratch resistance.
- the coating of materials allows the tailoring of the surface properties thereof. For instance, a coating can change the colour of plastics, reduce the oxygen permeation through plastic films or enhance the abrasion resistance of leather.
- Coatings can be applied by lacquering, CVD or PVD processes.
- Lacquers for instance on the basis of hybrid polymers, can be applied by conventional lacquering techniques, such as spraying, rolling or application with a doctor knife.
- the lacquer has been hardened (cured) in a second process step by heat treatment in a furnace or by irradiation with light.
- barrier layers the typical thickness of such layers on the basis of hybrid polymers is about 8 ⁇ m.
- Such a barrier layer improves the oxygen barrier properties usually by a factor of about 2.
- conventional coating application methods the use of masks is necessary to apply the coating only at specific locations of the substrate.
- conventional coatings based on hybrid polymers left much to be desired in connection with the surface properties of the coatings.
- the barrier properties of the hybrid material coatings against oxygen proved insufficient for demanding applications.
- EP 1 582 270 A1 aims at overcoming the drawbacks of conventional lacquering techniques, namely the insufficient utilization of the full potential of the hybrid materials.
- the patent application relates to an atmospheric pressure plasma technology, in which a plasma is generated and maintained according to the Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) technique.
- the method comprises the steps of introducing the sample to be coated in the space between two electrodes, generating a plasma discharge between the electrodes and mixing aerosols containing hybrid inorganic-organic cross-linked pre-polymers into the plasma discharge.
- the method of EP 1 582 270 A1 imposes severe restrictions on the size of the substrate to be coated. In the DBD techniques, the space, i.e. gap between the two electrodes is at most 5 mm, typically 2 to 3 mm.
- the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of a PET substrate of unspecified thickness could be reduced from 130 cm 3 /m 2 ⁇ d ⁇ bar to about 80 cm 3 /m 2 ⁇ d ⁇ bar by the coating. So, the OTR could be reduced by a factor of about 1.6 through the coating method of EP 1 582 270 A1 .
- Plasma nozzles such as described in DE 195 32 412 A1 and DE 299 21 694 U1 are typically used to activate surfaces, e.g. to enhance the wettability of plastics.
- WO 01/32949 plasma nozzles are exceptionally employed in the coating of surfaces.
- a plasma jet is generated by passing a process gas through an excitation zone, and precursor material is fed into the plasma jet separately from the process gas.
- the feeding of the precursor material can take place in the excitation zone of the plasma.
- the precursor material is fed with a tube arranged downstream of the plasma nozzle exit. The precursor material is reacted with the aid of the plasma, and the reaction product is deposited on the surface.
- the precursor materials used in WO 01/32949 are small molecules that are easy to volatilize. Hexamethyldisiloxane, tetraethoxysilane and propane are specifically mentioned in the reference.
- DE 10 2006 038 780 A1 is concerned with an apparatus and method for preparing anti-corrosion coatings.
- Precursor materials are injected into the relaxing plasma generated in a plasma nozzle. In the plasma, the precursor is partially fragmented and impinges on the surface of the substrate, where it polymerizes to result in an anti-corrosion coating.
- silicon-containing low-molecular species such as hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), are used as precursor materials.
- low molecular mass gaseous precursors such as hexamethyldisilane (HMDS), tetramethylsilane (TMDS) and HMDSO are injected as precursor materials into a plasma jet.
- HMDS hexamethyldisilane
- TMDS tetramethylsilane
- HMDSO tetramethylsilane
- DE 198 07 086 A1 also describes a plasma coating apparatus.
- WO 2005/053862 relates to a process for coating a substrate with at least two layers.
- the process essentially comprises three steps, namely in step (a) the application of a first layer comprising a first inorganic component, in step (b) the treatment of the first layer with a plasma, and in step (c) the application of a second layer to the first layer, wherein the second layer comprises a second inorganic component.
- the plasma employed in step (b) is an active plasma generated in a plasma reactor.
- sol-gel coatings or a layer deposited by plasma chemistry can be used as the first layer comprising a first inorganic component.
- the sol is not cured through the exposure to plasma but by thermal treatment or irradiation.
- the plasma treatment of the first layer in step (b) is stated as serving to ensure sufficient adhesion of the second layer.
- a thin film of silicon oil is applied to a surface, and the film is subsequently treated in a plasma.
- the plasma treatment is effected by placing the silicon oil-coated substrates between the electrodes of a plasma reactor and exposing them to the active plasma generated between the electrodes.
- WO 93/24243 is concerned with apparatuses and methods for depositing barrier coatings on polymeric substrates, such as PET films.
- HMDSO precursors are used to form such barrier coatings.
- the barrier coatings are stated as reducing the oxygen permeance of the polymeric substrates.
- the present inventors have surprisingly found that the above object can be attained by the distinct coating methods as recited in the independent claims 1 and 5 involving the use of a liquid comprising specific hybrid inorganic-organic pre-polymers and an atmospheric pressure plasma jet.
- the present invention provides two alternative methods for coating a substrate with an inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material.
- the first method which is sometimes referred to in this description as the "one-step method of the invention"
- the coating method of the present invention comprises a step (i) of applying liquid comprising hybrid inorganic-organic pre-polymers on a surface of the substrate, and a step (ii) of exposing said surface, i.e. the surface of the substrate with the liquid applied thereon, to an atmospheric pressure plasma jet to cure the hybrid inorganic-organic pre-polymers.
- This method will sometimes be denoted the "two-step method of the invention", below.
- the term “coating methods of the invention” as occasionally used herein is understood as a collective term encompassing both, the one-step and the two-step method of the invention.
- the coating methods of the invention allow the preparation of substrates coated with inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material, which coated substrates have physical properties, in particular oxygen barrier properties that are substantially improved e.g. over the coated materials obtained in EP 1 582 270 A1 .
- the OTR values could be reduced in the one-step method of the invention with respect to the starting substrate by a factor of at least 10 through the coating, whereas the corresponding reduction was only about 1.6 when using the technique of EP 1 582 270 A1 .
- This is highly unexpected, for the following reasons.
- the electron density (plasma intensity) is higher in DBD plasmas than in plasma jets obtained in a plasma nozzle. Higher electron density will result in higher degree of ionization and fragmentation of precursors.
- coated articles obtainable with the coating method of the invention can have an OTR of less than 5 cm 3 /m 2 ⁇ d ⁇ bar for 23 ⁇ m thick PET films as substrates.
- the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) could be improved from 12 to 9 g/d ⁇ m 2 through the coating.
- the difference in electron density to a DBD plasma is even more significant in the relaxing plasma, i.e. the plasma jet outside the plasma nozzle, in which the liquid comprising the hybrid inorganic-organic pre-polymers is injected in the one-step method of the invention.
- the significantly improved oxygen barrier properties of the coated substrates or coated articles of the invention are even more unexpected.
- the full potential of the inorganic-organic hybrid polymers is utilized by curing in a plasma jet.
- the oxygen barrier properties could be enhanced significantly over corresponding coatings cured conventionally, e.g. by heat treatment in a furnace or by irradiation with light.
- the enhanced oxygen barrier properties are due to a higher degree of crosslinking/curing of the inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material obtained in the two-step method of the present invention. This could be confirmed by NMR measurements.
- coated substrates as meant herein refer to coated articles of arbitrary size and shape.
- the coated substrates/articles obtained with the coating methods of the invention excel in their surface properties, in particular in their oxygen barrier properties.

- the plasma coating apparatus of the present invention is characterized by the feature of the precursor feeding unit being a liquid spray nozzle, the specific horizontal distance between the central axis of the plasma nozzle and the exit of the liquid spray nozzle, and the distinct opening diameter of the exit of the liquid spray nozzle.
- the plasma coating apparatus according to the present invention is specifically adapted for use in the one-step coating method of the invention.
- the atmospheric plasma pressure jet is generated by a plasma nozzle having a nozzle exit.

- a twisting device 17 can be a plate having openings.
- working gases 20 are useful in plasma nozzles. For instance, air, nitrogen, oxygen, ammonia (NH 3 ), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), noble gases, hydrogen and mixtures thereof can be used.
- the preferred noble gas is argon.
- the arc-like plasma discharge runs from the tip of the central electrode 14 essentially in axial direction of the nozzle channel 13 to the counter electrode 24, which is earthed like the housing. As a result, a plasma jet 2 is generated below the nozzle exit 5.

- the parameters d and f in particular will have some influence on the properties of the hybrid polymer material obtained in the one-step method.
- the activity of the plasma in the plasma jet will decrease with increasing d resulting in less fragmentation of the pre-polymers injected in the plasma jet.
- the distance f this will influence the homogeneity of the injection of the liquid comprising the pre-polymers. The larger the distance f, the more inhomogeneous will be the feeding in the plasma jet due to an increasing divergence angle.
- an inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material having outstanding oxygen barrier properties can be obtained when f is between 10 and 30 mm, d is between 5 and 15 mm, the angle between the central axis 11 of the plasma nozzle 4 and the central axis of the liquid spray nozzle 6 is approximately 90°, and the liquid comprising hybrid inorganic-organic pre-polymers is injected in the plasma jet in the form of an aerosol, such as having a droplet size of 0.5 to 100 ⁇ m.
- the distance g may be 4 to 50 mm, and preferably it is 10 to 30 mm.
- the plasma-coating apparatus is suitable to, and specifically adapted to, carrying out the one-step coating method of the invention.
- it is equipped with a liquid spray nozzle for feeding the precursors, in particular the liquid comprising hybrid inorganic-organic pre-polymers.
- the liquid spray nozzle of the plasma coating apparatus is preferably designed such that liquid, such as liquid comprising pre-polymers can be injected into a plasma jet exiting the plasma nozzle through the nozzle exit. This is illustrated in Fig. 3 .
- the liquid spray nozzle 6 is different from the tube shown e.g. in Fig. 1 of WO 01/32949 , which serves to feed gases.
- the liquid spray nozzle is, as suggested by the name, a nozzle for spraying liquids.
- the opening diameter of the exit of said nozzle is less than 1 mm.
- Specific examples of the liquid spray nozzles for use in the plasma coating apparatus according to the present invention are "Meinhard Zerstauber TR-30-A1 (A3)", available from Spectec GmbH (Erding, Germany) and “Burgener Zerstauber PMM-4000", obtainable from Maassen GmbH (Reutlingen, Germany). These liquid spray nozzles, which are commercially available, can be used with particular benefit in the plasma coating apparatus and the one-step coating method according to the present invention.
- the liquid spray nozzle 6 is preferably arranged in the plasma coating apparatus of the invention such that the distances d, and the angle between the central axis 11 of the plasma nozzle and the central axis of the liquid spray nozzle 6 are in the ranges that have been defined for the one-step method of the invention, above.
- the distance f is preferably about 20 mm.
- step (i) liquid comprising hybrid inorganic-organic pre-polymers 3 is applied on a surface of the substrate 1.
- Fig. 2b wherein the application of the liquid 3 is symbolized by pouring the liquid contained in a vessel onto the substrate resulting in a liquid 8 applied on the substrate.
- the method of applying the liquid 3 can be conventional methods of applying lacquer, for instance spraying, rolling, or applying by using e.g. a plate, knife or doctor knife.
- the vessel containing liquid 3 for pouring the liquid on the substrate 1 is moved relative to the substrate 1.
- the liquid 8 applied on the substrate is subsequently exposed in step (ii) to a plasma jet 2, which is generated in Fig. 2c by a plasma nozzle 4.
- the hybrid inorganic-organic pre-polymers in the applied liquid 8 are cured to give (cured) inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material 9.
- the plasma nozzle 4 and the substrate 1 are moved relative to each other at a speed that is not particularly limited but is preferably 0.5 to 200 m/min, more preferably 5 to 100 m/min and especially 10 to 20 m/min.
- Said relative velocity of the substrate 1 and the plasma nozzle 4 in the two-step coating method of the invention can also be referred to as a scanning speed.
- the distance g as illustrated in Fig. 3 i.e. the distance between the nozzle exit 5 of the plasma nozzle 4 along a parallel line to the central axis 11 thereof and the substrate 1 is preferably in the range of 3 to 50 mm in the two-step method. More preferably, the distance g is 4 to 20 mm and especially 5 to 10 mm.
- the time between application step (i) and exposure step (ii) may be in the range of seconds but can also be in the range of days.
- radicals, ions, electrons, species in excited states and photones act collectively.
- the combined effect of these species will lead to a high degree of crosslinking within the inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material upon curing.
- the high degree of crosslinking is reflected in the good barrier values of the hybrid polymer material coating.
- the above combined effect of different species does not take place in the conventional curing treatments such as e.g. by thermal oven treatment.
- the plasma generated by the plasma jet used in the two-step coating method of the invention is a relaxing plasma
- the distribution of plasma species therein is rich on radicals and species in excited states, while it has a comparably low content of ions and electrons. Radicals are expected to be particularly efficient in crosslinking upon curing to give the inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material. Consequently, the two-step coating method of the invention wherein the substrate having liquid 8 applied thereon is exposed to a relaxing plasma of a plasma jet will yield hybrid polymer materials having particularly outstanding barrier properties.
- a plasma coating apparatus was used, in which the liquid spray nozzle was arranged in a horizontal distance f of 20 mm with respect to the central axis of the plasma nozzle, and at a distance d to the nozzle exit of the plasma nozzle along a parallel to the central axis of the plasma nozzle of 10 mm.
- the liquid spray nozzle was made of glass, and the exit of the liquid spray nozzle had an opening diameter of 400 ⁇ m.
- An aerosol of an ORMOCER ® liquid was generated by mixing the liquid with nitrogen as a carrier gas. The thus-created aerosol was sprayed in the plasma jet through the liquid spray nozzle.
- a polycarbonate plate was used as a substrate. The substrate was moved at a velocity of 10 m/min through the plasma jet. The distance g between the substrate surface and the nozzle exit was 20 mm.
- the ORMOCER ® liquid is applied with a doctor knife on a PET film having a thickness of 23 ⁇ m until a coating thickness of 10 ⁇ m was obtained. Then, the substrate with the liquid applied thereon was scanned with a plasma nozzle with the distance between the nozzle exit and the film g being 5 mm at a velocity of 20 m/min, to cure the ORMOCER ® and obtaining an inorganic-organic hybrid polymer material coating.
- the measurement of the Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) (in accordance with DIN 53380) was reduced 10-fold in comparison to a corresponding coating, which was cured in a furnace at 120 °C for 2 hours.
