Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of coating, and particularly to a processing method for plastic substrates. Background Art
[0002] In many fields such as food and pharmaceuticals, plastic containers are usually used as packaging containers, which have many advantages such as light weight, soft texture, easy forming, easy packaging, and convenient carrying. However, plastics allow low-molecular substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through, and are prone to absorb and adsorb organic compounds. For example, plastic bottled beverages will be oxidized by the infiltrated oxygen molecules, which will not only cause changes in taste, but also affect people's physical health. CN00807740.1 provides a method of depositing diamond-like carbon (DLC) film to block oxygen molecules to solve the above problems. However, the DLC film has high hardness and is prone to embrittlement and peeling, and cannot adapt to the soft texture of plastic containers.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a processing method for plastic substrates to overcome the above defects. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved processing method for plastic substrates, which is simple and easy to operate, has low cost, can form a sealable film layer on the surface of the plastic substrate, thereby improving the performance of the diamond-like carbon layer located below and extending the service life.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the processing method for plastic substrates of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0008] Introducing the polyurethane monomer gas into the vacuum chamber, and doping the polyurethane monomer on the diamond-like carbon layer by using plasma polymerization deposition technology.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, in the processing method for plastic substrates of the present invention, after depositing a diamond-like carbon layer on the surface of the plastic substrate, the polyurethane monomer gas is introduced, and then the polyurethane monomer is doped on the diamond-like carbon layer by using plasma polymerization deposition technology. The vaporized polyurethane is mutually doped with the diamond-like carbon layer. The advantage of this is that a sealable film layer can be deposited on the surface of the diamond-like carbon layer, thereby improving the performance of the diamond-like carbon layer. For example, to a certain extent, the rigidity of the diamond-like carbon layer is reduced, its embrittlement is prevented, its flexibility is improved, and the film body is prevented from falling off, thereby extending the service life of the product.
[0010] Preferably, the step of providing the polyurethane monomer gas includes: heating the polyurethane monomer to 130-180 °C to form a gas state.

[0012] Preferably, the step of depositing the diamond-like carbon layer further includes: controlling the plastic substrate to rotate on the rotating rack at a rotation speed of 30 - 60 rpm.

[0019] The processing method of the plastic substrate of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereby. The method of the present invention aims to provide a processing method of a plastic substrate, which can form a sealable film layer on the surface of the plastic substrate, thereby improving the performance of the diamond-like carbon layer located in the lower layer and extending the service life.
[0020] In an embodiment of the processing method of the plastic substrate of the present invention, the following steps are included:
[0021] Provide polyurethane monomer gas;
[0022] In a vacuum chamber, deposit a diamond-like carbon layer on the surface of the plastic substrate; and
[0023] Introduce the polyurethane monomer gas into the vacuum chamber, and dope the polyurethane monomer on the diamond-like carbon layer by plasma polymerization deposition technology.
[0024] In the processing method of the plastic substrate of the present invention, after depositing a diamond-like carbon layer on the surface of the plastic substrate, introduce the polyurethane monomer gas, and then dope the polyurethane monomer on the diamond-like carbon layer by plasma polymerization deposition technology. The vaporized polyurethane is doped with the diamond-like carbon layer. The advantage of this is that a sealable film layer can be deposited on the surface of the diamond-like carbon layer, thereby improving the performance of the diamond-like carbon layer. For example, to a certain extent, it reduces the rigidity of the diamond-like carbon layer, prevents it from cracking, improves flexibility, and prevents the film body from falling off, thereby extending the service life of the product.
[0025] Specifically, in the present invention, polyurethane monomer gas can be provided in advance to prepare for subsequent doping. Of course, the polyurethane monomer gas can also be prepared after the deposition of the diamond-like carbon layer. Specifically, the step of providing the polyurethane monomer gas includes: first, putting the polyurethane monomer into a heating tank, raising the temperature to 130°C - 180°C to make it gaseous.
[0026] Next, deposit a diamond-like carbon layer on the surface of the plastic substrate. Specifically, control the internal air pressure of the vacuum chamber to be 3×10 -2 to 3.5×10 -2 Pa, adjust the bias voltage of the plastic substrate to 20V - 30V, and set the current of the high-purity graphite target to 1.5A - 3.0A. Preferably, the plastic substrate rotates on a rotating rack at a speed of 30 - 60 rpm.
[0027] Meanwhile, introduce the gaseous polyurethane monomer into the vacuum chamber using a hydrocarbon gas. At this time, the flow rate of the polyurethane monomer is 20 sccm - 30 sccm. After introducing the polyurethane monomer gas, adjust the air pressure in the vacuum reaction chamber to 5×10 -2 to 50×10 -2 Pa. At this time, the working voltage applied to the ion beam is greater than 800V, the working current is 300 - 500 mA, a pulsed bias voltage greater than 500V is applied to the workpiece, and the deposition time is 20 - 30 minutes. Thus, the thickness of the polyurethane monomer doped on the diamond-like carbon layer is 15 - 20 nm. By such a method, a sealable film layer, that is, a polyurethane monomer layer, can be deposited on the surface of the diamond-like carbon layer, thereby improving the performance of the underlying diamond-like carbon layer. For example, to a certain extent, it reduces the rigidity of the diamond-like carbon layer, prevents its brittle fracture, improves flexibility, prevents the film body from falling off, and thus extends the service life of the plastic product.
[0028] In summary, after depositing a diamond-like carbon layer on the surface of the plastic substrate in the present invention, introduce the polyurethane monomer gas, and then use plasma polymerization deposition technology to dope the polyurethane monomer on the diamond-like carbon layer. The vaporized polyurethane and the diamond-like carbon layer are mutually doped. The advantage of this is that a sealable film layer can be deposited on the surface of the diamond-like carbon layer, thereby improving the performance of the diamond-like carbon layer. For example, to a certain extent, it reduces the rigidity of the diamond-like carbon layer, prevents its brittle fracture, improves flexibility, prevents the film body from falling off, and thus extends the service life of the product.
[0029] The above-disclosed are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Of course, the scope of the rights of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
