This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202111223170.2, filed on Oct. 20, 2021 with China National Intellectual Property Administration, and entitled “COMPOSITE COATING, PREPARATION METHOD, AND DEVICE”, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the field of plasma chemistry, and specifically, to a plasma polymeric composite coating, a method for preparing the same, and a device including the same.
Electronic and electrical equipment and metal devices, etc., are very sensitive to damage from contamination caused by a liquid, especially water. For example, during normal use or accidental exposure, an electronic or electrical device may contact a liquid to lead to a short circuit between electronic elements and irreparable damage to a circuit board, an electronic chip, and the like. Protective coating may protect surfaces of different substrates to reduce vulnerability thereof to liquids. In this regard, it is a mainstream method to prepare a polymer protective coating by a vapor deposition process on a surface of a substrate, which is affordable, easy to operate, etc. Among others, in plasma chemical vapor deposition, deposition may be carried out on the surface of the substrate by activating a reactive organic monomer gas, such as, a fluorinated compound, with plasma. This process is applicable to a variety of substrates, and a uniform, thin and low-stress polymer protective coating may be deposited thereby at a low preparation temperature, with almost no damage to the surface of the substrate and almost no influence on performance of the substrate. However, the deposited coating has poor wear resistance, unstable corrosion resistance, reduced performance during transportation, and other problems.

At the same time, the coated Mg sheet has a current density of 9.569 e−9 A/cm2, which is 4 orders of magnitude lower than a current density of the uncoated Mg sheet. It is shown that, the coated Mg sheet has better protective performance.
