DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON COATED PET FILM AND PET FILM GLASS LAMINATE GLAZING STRUCTURES FOR ADDED HARDNESS AND ABRASION RESISTANCE

摘要

The present invention is a non-metallic article that has been coated with adiamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. A DLC coated article of the presentinvention has increased hardness and increased abrasion resistance whencompared with these same properties of the article prior to the article beingcoated. DCL coatings of the present invention are applied in a chamber filledwith hydrocarbon plasma and with application of electrical pulses.
