Coatings

A frequent step in producing a device is to coat a substrate in order to make its surface behave differently in some way. This could be to make it biocompatible, harder, hydrophobic, or to gain any number of other characteristics. Coatings are also widely used as a preparation step for another fabrication process.

Aerosol spray coater- Sono-Tek
More information to come.
CSIRO VIC Node
Description
The ExactaCoat is a fully-enclosed programmable 3-axis robot that is ideal for any spray coating application. This system employs robust ball-screw slides driven by brushless DC servo motors. Sono-Tek ultrasonic nozzles are easily integrated. Spray pattern widths can be easily shaped depending on which nozzle is used. Patterns are easily shaped, ranging from 2 - 153 mm. Several liquid delivery options are available with a wide range of flow rates.
Related Information
Range of motion 400 mm x 400 mm x 100 mm , resolution 0.015 mm. Heater plate up to 150 degrees C.

Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication VIC Node
Description
Langmuir Blodgett monolayer deposition trough for coating applications
Related Information
A Langmuir–Blodgett trough (LB trough) is an item of laboratory apparatus that is used to compress monolayers of molecules on the surface of a given subphase (usually water) and to measure surface phenomena due to this compression. It can also be used to deposit single or multiple monolayers on a solid substrate.

Langmuir-Blodgett Trough- KSV NIMA KN2002
Langmuir/Langmuir-Blodgett Trough
Flinders University SA Node
Description
Langmuir trough for the formation and study of monolayer films. Also allows the formation of multilayered films.
Related Information
PC controlled film balance and barrier drive. Trough surface area 273 cm2 (L364 x W75 x H4 mm3). Maximum sample size T3 x W52 x H56 mm2. Maximum barrier speed up to 270 mm/min. Dipper for fully automatic operation for LB-film depositions on solid substrates (dipping well L20 x W56 x H60 mm3, maximum stroke 80 mm, adjustable speed range 0.1 - 108 mm/min). Temperature control possible through attached heated recirculator. Distilled water subphase temperature range 10-60 °C. Platinum or paper Wilhelmy plate provided as balance device.

Parylene Coater- SCS
More information to come.
CSIRO VIC Node
Description
The SCS Labcoter® 2 (PDS 2010) vacuum deposition system uses powered parylene precursor (dimer) to apply ultra-thin inert and biocompatible coatings with excellent moisture, chemical and dielectric barrier properties. The controlled deposition can form films in thicknesses from several hundred angstroms to 75 microns.
Related Information
Samples can be up to 30cm by 20cm.
