THIN FILM DIFFUSION BARRIER

摘要

An elastomeric substrate has a material diffusion barrier, and a method produces the same. In an embodiment, a method for producing a material diffusion barrier on an elastomeric substrate includes exposing the elastomeric substrate to a cationic solution to produce a cationic layer on the elastomeric substrate. The method also includes exposing the cationic layer to an anionic solution to produce an anionic layer on the cationic layer. The layer includes the cationic layer and the anionic layer. The layer comprises the material diffusion barrier.
