How can silver plated film enhance the mechanical strength and wear resistance of PEN substrate?

In the field of modern materials science, improving the performance of materials through surface modification technology has become an important research method. This article will exploreSilver plated filmHow to enhance the mechanical strength and wear resistance of polyaryletherketone (PEN) substrate, and specifically mention the research and application of Advanced Institute (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. in this field.

Basic characteristics of PEN substrate

Polyaryletherketone (PEN) is a high-performance thermoplastic resin with high rigidity, heat resistance, and functionality. The nitrile side groups introduced into the molecular structure of PEN not only provide excellent heat resistance and mechanical strength, but also have good formability. The equilibrium water absorption rate of PEN is extremely low, and its size and strength will not change due to the influence of humidity and moisture. It can withstand hot water above 150 ℃. These characteristics make PEN an ideal substrate in many fields.

The principle and preparation of silver plated film

Silver plated film is a high-performance materialFunctional thin film materialsBy coating a layer of silver nanoparticles on the surface of the substrate, the conductivity, optical properties, and thermal conductivity of the material can be significantly improved. Advanced Institute (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. has a profound technical accumulation in the preparation of silver plated films. It adopts vacuum coating technology, such as magnetron sputtering and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), which can accurately control the deposition of silver nanoparticles and thus prepare high-quality silver plated films.

Silver plated film enhances the mechanical strength of PEN substrate

1. Improvement of interface adhesion:
   The interface bonding force between silver plated film and PEN substrate is a key factor affecting the overall mechanical strength.

Silver plated film enhances the wear resistance of PEN substrate

1. Improvement of hardness and surface roughness:
   Silver plated film can significantly improve the surface hardness of PEN substrate, reduce surface scratches and wear. At the same time, silver plated film can also reduce surface roughness, making the material have better wear resistance during friction.

2. Lubrication and protective effects:
   Silver nanoparticles form a uniform lubricating layer on the surface of the coating, which can effectively reduce the friction coefficient and decrease the wear rate. In addition, silver plated film can prevent external environment from corroding the PEN substrate and extend its service life.
