Organic electronics research has received significant attention in recent years. The majority
of this research has focused on the development of organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) and …

Impurities can be incorporated during thin film deposition, but also can originate from
atmosphere exposure. As impurities can strongly affect the composition—structure …

Water permeation in inorganic moisture permeation barriers occurs through macroscale
defects/pinholes and nanopores, the latter with size approaching the water kinetic diameter …

Barrier films are required for a number of applications such as food packaging or organic
electronics to prevent product degradation results from exposure to water vapour and …

In this study, the growth characteristics and film properties of the atomic layer deposition
(ALD) of Al 2 O 3 are systemically identified using various oxidants (ie, H 2 O, H 2 O 2, CH 3 …

Here we demonstrate a spatially resolved imaging methodology for water vapor
transmission rate (WVTR) testing that relies on quantified infrared characterization at water …

A major failure mechanism is identified in electrical calcium corrosion tests for quality
assessment of high-end application moisture barriers. Accelerated calcium corrosion is …

Abstract The Norwegian Food Research Institute (Nofima) and the University of Borås
worked together to develop this project. The commonly used packaging materials pose a …

In this thesis, various alumina-based thin-film encapsulation layers including nitrogen-doped
alumina, zinc-doped alumina and ZnO/Al2O3 nanolaminate structures are deposited by …

According to the principle that the oxidation chemical reaction between metal calcium film
and water vapor makes calcium film transparent, this experiment measures the corrosion …
