Abstract
A method for forming a coating on an ionic liquid includes placing an ionic liquid on a surface of a substrate, thereby forming an ionic liquid coated substrate. The ionic liquid coated substrate is introduced into a physical deposition chamber having a physical deposition target. One or more materials are directed from the physical deposition target onto the ionic liquid of the ionic liquid coated substrate by physical vapor deposition to form a coating on the ionic liquid of the ionic liquid coated substrate.
Claims19
A method for forming a coating on an ionic liquid, comprising the steps of:
- placing an ionic liquid on a substrate, thereby forming an ionic liquid coated substrate,
- introducing said ionic liquid coated substrate into a physical deposition chamber having at least one physical deposition target;
- and
- directing one or more materials from the at least one physical deposition target onto the ionic liquid of the ionic liquid coated substrate by physical vapor deposition;
- and
- adjusting the viscosity of the ionic liquid such that the one or more materials do not enter the ionic liquid but form a coating on the ionic liquid of the ionic liquid coated substrate.
A method for forming a multi-layered coating on an ionic liquid, comprising the steps of:
- placing an ionic liquid on a substrate, thereby forming an ionic liquid coated substrate,
- introducing said ionic liquid coated substrate into a physical deposition chamber having at least one physical deposition target;
- moving said ionic liquid coated substrate under the at least one physical vapor deposition target, thereby directing one or more materials onto the ionic liquid of the ionic liquid coated substrate by physical vapor deposition;
- and
- adjusting the viscosity of the ionic liquid such that the one or more materials do not enter the ionic liquid but form a multi-layered coating on the ionic liquid of the ionic liquid coated substrate.
