Abstract
Since the advent of the use of resistance heated sources for the metallization of plastic substrates in the 1940’s, both the sources and the process have become increasingly sophisticated. Evaporative sources have evolved from single strand to multiple strand wires, then to coil and basket forms. Resistance heated crucibles and boats were developed for more difficult evaporative materials. The use of intermetallics made possible the coating of plastic films.
