This study focuses on possibilities of the archaeological artefacts (iron) protection by a thin film deposition of SiOx and Parylene thin films. Parylene coatings are prepared by the standard chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. SiOx layers were deposited by PECVD in a low pressure reactor with capacitively coupled plasma discharge (13.56 MHz). The coatings were characterized by various methods in order to obtain information about chemical structure (FTIR), elementar composition (XPS), surface morphology (LCSM, SEM) and barrier properties (OTR). Standard corrosion tests were performed to determine the effectiveness of corrosion protection. • PARALOID B44 • Samples dried at 100°C for 4 hours under vacuum • 2 layers of varnish (delay 6 hours), dried at ambient air • Solution of 4% for iron samples • 3% of benztriazole in ethanol added for other materials • PARYLENE • Used modification Parylene C • Test – according to ISO 9227 in a cyclic salt • spray chamber CC450 Ascot, time – 300 hours, • temperature – 25°C • pp-HMDSO • Used HMDSO as a precursor • Test – was performed as a immersion test (samples • were dipped in pure water and in solution of • sodium chloride), time – 336 hours, • temperature – 20°C a b Fig. 10 Comparison of iron samples before corrosion test (a) and after corrosion test (b) for pp-HMDSO, Paraloid B44 and Parylene Fig. 8, 9 Micrographs of the surfaces of thin film of pp-HMDSO (a) and Parylene C (b), magnification of 10 000 Tab. 3 The process of coating of the samples by Paraloid B44 and conditions of corrosion tests for Parylene and pp-HMDSO a b Conclusion We have compared thin layers of Parylene C and pp-HMDSO which were used for the protection of archaeological artefacts. We determined that thin layers of pp-HMDSO did not contain carbon, which indicated that we had prepared the thin layer really similar to the SiO2 like layer. With respect to the standard corrosion test was found that the thin film of Parylene C appeared to be a better protection than the thin film of pp-HMDSO.
