Parylene is the trade name for a variety of chemical vapor deposited poly(p-xylylene) polymers used as moisture and dielectric barriers. Parylene films have been used in various applications, including Hydrophobic coating (moisture barriers, e.g., for biomedical hoses Barrier layers (e.g., for a filter, diaphragms, valves Microwave electronics Implanted Medical devices Sensors in a rough environment (e.g., automotive fuel/air sensors). Electronics for space travel and military Corrosion protection for metallic surfaces. Reinforcement of micro-structures Protection of plastic, rubber, etc., from harmful environmental conditions Reduction of friction, e.g., for guiding catheters, acupuncture needles and microelectromechanical systems. Thin to thick Parylene layers can be deposited on any substrate. The Parylene deposition process is carried out at room temperature, thus allowing the conformal covering of temperature sensitive materials.
