RAMIREZ-ORTIZ, Jorge et al. Growth of CuO films on fibreglass by CVD process. Rev. Soc. Quím. Méx [online]. 2000, vol.44, n.3, pp.215-218. ISSN 0583-7693.

To develop a novel material, constituted by cupric oxide (CuO) films deposited on fibreglass, we have used the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of 2,4-pentanedionate copper (II), Cu(acac)₂ as a precursor, and fibreglass as substrate. The resulting fibreglass with a film of CuO can be used either as a conducting fibber or an oxidation catalyst. Over the fibreglass, a polycrystalline coating was observed, conformed by a continuous arrangement of 0.2-0.4 µm aggregates of CuO.

Keywords : CVD; CuO deposition; fibreglass; characterisation.
