Polyethylene Stability for Structures using Chemical and Physical Vapor Deposition

The aim of this research was to develop methodology on the development of polyethylene composites. The two processes compared where chemical and physical vapor deposition in a chamber. The process parameters where scanning speed and vapor pressure. The response was hatch distance and surface height. The results indicated different surface morphology of concave and convex patterns. The spacing of Intergranular distance of the polymer was double with PVD than with CVD. To give a layer height 30% greater. The reproducibility was high able to develop intricate parts.
