English term or phrase: paraxylylene
in un brevetto relativo alla formatura di pellicole per interferometri trovo spesso il termine "paraxylylene" usato appunto per questo scopo, per esempio nella frase "According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of forming an interferometer film for an interferometer sensor comprising the step of forming a polymer layer of substantially uniform thickness directly on an interferometer substrate, the layer forming the interferometer film, wherein the polymer layer is deposited by polymerisation of a gas of monomer particles including a paraxylylene."
Immagino che in italiano sia "parax(s)ililene", ma non avendo trovato riscontri, non ne sono sicura.
Grazie per l'aiuto

para-xililene
Explanation:
Nel sito indicato parla di orto-xilileni. I suffissi orto, para e meta specificano la posizione reciproca (credo dei doppi legami, in questo caso). Se esistono gli orto-xilileni è plausibile che esistano anche i para-xilileni.

parylene, parilene


Explanation:
The more common term for paraxylylene is parylene, which generally seems to keep the same spelling in Italian (McGraw Hill-Zanichelli) although can also be spelled as "parilene".

"parylene" is used by various manufacturers and seems to be generic: see for example
http://www.paryleneinc.com/ - slogan "the first name in parylene";
http://www.vp-scientific.com/parylene_properties.htm - uses "Galxyl" as its brand name for parylene films; and
http://www.paratechcoating.co.uk/parylenewhat.htm - which actually specifies that parylene is the generic name for the poly-para-xylenes.

  -> Ciao Maurizio! The website of Parylene Coating Services quotes their slogan "the first name in parylene" - and there's no TM or C beside "parylene". The term's also used by many other manufacturers. I'm pretty sure it's generic.
