Abstract

In this chapter a thorough description of the initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) process will be given, concentrating on molecular weight and deposition rate of the deposited polymer, which are essential for largescale application in hybrid gas barriers. Practical applications of coatings by iCVD are addressed, and it will be shown that iCVD single layers can be used individually as gas barriers. However, so far the intrinsic moisture barrier function of polymers is too low to meet the strict requirements that are needed for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic solar cells.
