VACUU~ VAPOR DEPOSITION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
. .. _ ._.__.__ . ___ . _. _ _. ~

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This lnvention relates to a process for vacuum vapor deposl~lon, par~iculaly ~o a process for vacuum vapor deposltion by coatlng an organlc protectlve fllm on an lnorganic material deposlted on optlcal ar~lcles.

PRIOR ART

As well known, bolllng polnt of ma~erlal depend~ on atmospherlc pressure and evaporatlon of the material can be a~talned by lowering ~urroundlng pressure. Thua, vacuum vapor depositlon can be attalned by depOsl~lng vapors on the surface o~ solid articles positioned ln v~por flow in vacuum. Vapor deposlt10n of lnorganlc materlals on optlcal artlcles forms non-smoothed lrregular surface of non-con~rolled op~lcal charac~eris~ics, because of adhered lrreegular crystalR deposl~ed on the surface. Thus spaces between ~he lrregular crystals are filled with an organlc fllm formlng ma~erial to obtain flat and smooth surface of the ar~lcles of deslred optlcal charac~erlstlcs, thereby al~o obtalnlng a protectlng film on the surface of the op~lcal artlcles from acclden~al ~taln troubles by human hand~, etc.

~3~
The organlc pro~ec~lng fllm can be prepared by dlssolving organic mat,erlals ~o be coated ln a solv~nt to obtain ~ sollltion an~ evapor~ting the solvcnt ~fter co~ting ~ owever, a very dilute solution ls ~o be used for ob~alnlng a very ~hln org~nic film, requirlng a large amount of solvent and the CFC type solvents used in the prlor art are known as ~he ozone destroyin~ compounds.
~ecently developed non-C~'C-t~ype solvents are also lncluding fluorine or chlorlne a~oms to be lnhiblted ln future.
Ano~her problem ln the prlo~ art is the washlng process. As well known, ~he pro~ectlve coat,lng process lncludes con~rolllng of the concentra~lon of the solut,ion, coat,ing of ~he solution and evaporati.ng of the solvent,.
Every ~tep ls conduc~ed after removlng vapor deposited ar~lcles from vapor deposl~lon apparatus. The ~resh surface of the vapor deposited ar~icles is covered by small crystalllne par~lcles deposited and very sensitive to dllst m~teri~ls in atomosphere, The floating dust material~ by flowlng of air or lnner~ gas ln~o ~he apparatus exposed to air are adhered to ~he surface, requiring further washlng step before organic l)rotective coatin~, As lllust.rated above, envlronmental pollutlon by t,he solvent used and ~he surface washlng process of t,he deposi~lon product before coat,ing organlc ma~erial are lmportan~ proble~s to be solved in the prlor ar~.
Accordlngly, the ob~ec~ of the presen~ inven~lon ls to ellmlnate such dlsadvantages ln ~he prior ar~ and to provlde a novel process for coating the org~nic 2 ~

fllm wl~hout uslng any solvent and any washlng process.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relatea to a process for vacuum vapor deposltion, particularly to A process for ~pplying an organic protective layer to ~n inorg~nic material deposited on optical articles by means of ceramic porous materi~l in an ~pparatus having both i.nor~anic m~teri~l v~porizing ~eans an~ organic material vaporizing ~eans, wherein an or~anic protective film can be e~sily obtained ~y heating the porous ceramic material impregnate(l with the organic protective film forming materinl.

Accordlng to the process of the present lnventlon, coatlng of deposlted lnorganic materlal by organlc pro~ec~ive fllm can be ea811y attalned ln a vacuum vapor deposltion appara~us requ.~rlng no solvent and no washlng process.
Thus, ~he washing step ln the prlor art beiore coatlng organlc pro~ective film can be ellmina~ed, Also, the solvent for preparing the solution is not required.
By employlng the porous ceramlc materlal, the amoun~
of organic protec~lve fllm formlng materlal can be ea~lly controlled and controlled amount o~ the organlc ma~erlal can ~e applled to the artlcles to be coated by ad~usting par~icle ~lze of the porou~ ceramlc materlal, viscoslty of the solutlon to be absorbed, e~c. Particularly, very ~32~1 small amount of the organlc materlal can be supplled easlly by uslng con~rolled amoun~ of the organlc ma~erlal and controLled quantl~a~ive coatlng wlth the organic ma~erlal can be easlly attalned wlthout requlrlng any preclse determlnatlon apparatus.
Further, accordlng to the present lnvention, chemlcal vapor deposi~ion can be algo attalned easily by polymerlzing materlals deposlted on the ar~lcles to be coated, as well as physical vapor deposltlon.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PR~FERRED EMBODIMENTS
.. ... ......... .. .............. . .. _ .. . _ .. .. . .. ... .. . . . .

The followlng examples are presented ~or bet~er understandlng of the presen~ lnvention to those skilled in ~he art, It is also to be unders~ood ~h~ these examples are lntended ~o be illustratlve only and are no~ ln~ended to llmlt the lnventlon ln any way.

~ ully drled 15x15xl mm of porous ceramic plates were lmpregnated wi~h polyethylene wax molten. l'he welght of the ceramlc plate were lncreased by 0.20gr for respec~ive pla~e.
One of the ceramlc pla~e thus obtalned was pu~ ln a vacuum vapor deposltlon appara~us having the radlus of 600 mm and evaporated by heating to 85C, after vapor deposltlon of lnorganlc materlal. ~etermlnatlon of the film ~hus prepared by in~erferometer gave 0,03~m of film thicknes~, satisfled thlckness for use in a protective _ 4 2~32`~

fllm.

A solution of slllcon regln compound was u~ed for the organlc fllm formlng material, havlng 3~ of residues by evapora~lon. Fully drled porous ceramlc balls were impregnated with the slllcon resin solutoln and then dried under ~va~ua~i~n to 10 6 torr, in ~ ~ricr hl~ving ~olvent recovery means ~o remove vaporized materlals. Thus, ~he welgh~ of the ceramlc ball were lncreased by O.SOgr.
Two of the ceramlc balls thug prep~ret~ were put lnto a vacuum vapor deposltlng apparatus havlng the radius o~
600mm and heated to 150 ~ after vacuum vapor depositlon of lnorganlc material. Determlnation of the organlc film thus obtalned gave 0.08 ~ m of fllm thlckness clearly sa~lsfled thlckness for use ln a protecting film.

Urethane monomer solutlon wa~ used ~or the organlc f ilm forming materlal, having 25~ residuals by evaporation.
Crushe~ porous ceramic particlea were fully drled and lmpregnated wlth ~he monomer solutlon and ~hen drled ln a drier as ln Example 2. The weight of the ceramic partlcles were increased from l.Ogr to 1.2gr, namely the lncrea~e by 20~. 2gr of the ceramic par~lcles thus ob~alned were pu~ ln a vacuum vapor depositlng apparatus having the radius of 6~ mm and he~ted to ~C after vacuum vapor deposltion of inorganlc matelal, ~Inder _ 5 _ 2~32~

hea~lng the ar~lcles to be coated at 150~ by means of another heater. De~erminatlon of the organlc fllm thu~
obtalned gave 0.05am of ~ilm thlckness, clearly satlsfied thlckness for use ln a protecting fllm.
