Parylene-C is a multifunctional polymer coating in the coating industry. In medical technology, it is approved for implants due to its biocompatibility. For example, it is used as a coating for electronic components and parts. The problem is that Parylene-C alone is too permeable to body water and the ions that are dissolved in it. Application as a coating material for long-term implants is therefore not possible. The infiltrating water not only corrodes the electronic components, but also reduces the adhesion between the Parylene-C and the coated surface. Therefore, layer systems of metal oxides and polymers are used for encapsulation. The aim of this work is to find out how different layer systems behave in relation to their water vapour transmission. Thicker systems should allow less water vapour to pass through than thinner ones. The task is to find this out using the test method for water vapour transmission barriers and to determine the water vapour transmission rate. It has been proven that in some cases the thicker layers performed worse than the thinner layer systems by a factor of ten. It has been shown that there is a relationship between the base substrate thickness, the thickness of the layer system and their flexibility.
In this work, the comparability of the cooling effect of two Peltier elements from different manufacturers is investigated for cooling the reagent module of a chemiluminescence analyzer. The temperature inside the reagent module is measured and evaluated at several positions. In this study, two different types of verification tests are performed under extreme climatic conditions. On the one hand, in a specific functional “cold start test”, the temperature in the reagent module is measured and evaluated to determine whether the measured temperatures are within the specified temperature range after the specified time. In addition, the performance of the Peltier elements is also evaluated. On the other hand, as an unspecific regression stress test, a “smoke test” is performed that is mainly designed to allow identifying unpredictable events. While processing a long and
complex work list, any deviant system behavior can be detected. Again, the temperature inside the reagent module should not exceed the specified temperature range.

For thin zinc sheets for construction purposes different welding techniques like tungsten inert gas (TIG), plasma arc (PAW) or micro-friction stir (μFSW) welding can be used. However, low ultimate tensile strength (UTS) often leads
to cracking in the weld even at low loads. The characteristics of laser welding make it particularly suitable for joining thin sheets and low-melting materials. Nevertheless, little is known about the weldability of thin zinc sheets by laser welding and the effects of the basic process parameters of laser power and travel speed on the welding process and the UTS of the weld. In this study,
thin zinc sheets were welded at different laser powers and travel speeds. Tensile testing of the welded joint showed, that the UTS and elongation at break increase with the energy input per unit length, but the welding process became gradually unstable and the susceptibility for welding defects increased. This leaves only a few laser powers and travel speeds that produce good welds with respect to UTS and elongation at break. Under these conditions laser welding is an alternative processing technique to
TIG, PAW and μFSW, but needs further investigation to
improve its stability. To implement laser welding in highly
automated production processes further research is required on laser welding of rolled zinc alloys.
