ABSTRACT

A luminous chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) layer could be used as transition phase between metal and polymer (coatings or films). The deposition of LCVD layer on metals can be done by the cathodic LCVD, in which the metal to be incorporated is used as the cathode of DC discharge. This method provides an excellent adhesion of LCVD nanofilm to the metal as well as the adhesion of coatings that will be applied on the surface of the LCVD layer [1,2]. This method is described in some detail in Part IV.
