Modern practice favours zinc and tin-zinc, since these materials cause less damage to the capacitor, provide a better surface for attaching and give more consistent results. The sprayed deposits may be either combustion flamesprayed or electric arcsprayed but arcsprayed coatings are most commonly used.
The pistol is usually directed either normal to the capacitor end or up to 15º from the normal. The sprayed coating thickness is determined by the winding quality and is usually 0.014″-0.016″ (350µm – 400µm) but for some high class thin film capacitors, coatings may be thinner 0.010″-0.012″ (250µm – 300µm).
The ends of the roll are then sprayed with metal to link up the electrodes and provide a surface for attaching the terminals. Larger, specialist capacitors are also sprayed. Many metals may be sprayed on to the ends of capacitors; copper, brass, aluminium, zinc and tin- zinc alloys have been employed.
The rolled capacitors are mounted in a jig. Masking is accomplished either by an extra film winding, which is removed before boxing or encapsulation of the capacitor, or by flattening the capacitors and packing them tightly into the spraying jig.
The most common type of capacitor in use today is the foil-wound type. A thin film of metal, 1µm, is deposited on one side of a thin, 2.5 – 14µm, polymer film di-electric leaving one edge uncoated. The film is wound around a central insulating core to form a ‘swiss roll’ with the uncoated edges staggered to permit the ends to be joined.
Enhancing the energy storage properties of dielectric polymer capacitor films through composite materials has gained widespread recognition. Among the various strategies for improving dielectric materials, nanoscale coatings that create structurally controlled multiphase polymeric films have shown great promise.
