Abstract

ABSTRACT
Due to specific properties of carbon coatings, they have been used in a lot of
applications for many years. Plotted on the substrate they mainly fulfill protective
function. Currently a lot of attention is dedicated to carbon coatings produced on
polymer substrate. In this case plasma enhanced CVD methods play a very important
role. Using these methods makes carbon coatings synthesis possible in lower
temperature.
Carbon coatings have been plotted on to polymer substrate [poly (vinylalcohol) (PVA),
polyurethane (PUR)], by Microwave Radio Frequency Plasma Assisted Chemical
Vapour Deposition (MW/RF PA CVD) method. Plasma has been aroused in pure a
methane atmosphere. Nanofiber textile has been used as the substrate produced by
modern Nanospider method. The Nanospider is the modification of the electrospinning.
Nanocomposite obtained in this way was characterized by the contact angle studies.
The nanocomposite structure was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
The results of investigations are presented.
