International ClassB32B 017/10AbstractA solution of amphiphilic molecules and water is atomized to form a mist of droplets which are deposited on a substrate surface to completely cover same with a coating of the solution. The amphiphilic molecules in the coating self-assemble on the surface into a continuous thin film that is less than 500 nanometers thick. The water is evaporated from the coating to leave only the film chemically bonded to the surface.Field of SearchHeating or drying pretreatmentSilicon compound containing coating Glass base BASE SUPPLIED CONSTITUENT Moving the base Vibratory or magneto-strictive projecting By electric transducer (e.g., piezoelectric crystal) As silicone, silane or siloxane As siloxane, silicone or silane Next to another silicon containing layer | |
