  • DURABLE TRANSPARENT INTELLIGENT COATINGS FOR POLYMERIC TRANSPARENCIES
    Publication number: 20100239742
    Abstract: A hard, transparent coating for a substrate and associated method for coating is disclosed. The coating includes alternating layers of a soft coating and a hard coating. The coating further includes a sensor. The electrical resistivity of the sensor may be measured to determine if the coating has been degraded. The coating may further include a hydrophobic outer layer.

  • BARRIER COATINGS FOR POLYMERIC SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20100116045
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides coated polymeric substrates that have a polymeric substrate body with a coated surface. The surface coating includes more than one pair of coating layers. Each pair of coating layers includes a first applied coating layer and a second applied coating layer. In addition, an indicator, applied on top of or between coating layers, provides an indication of wear of the coating.

  • WEAR-RESISTANT COATING FOR POLYMERIC TRANSPARENCIES
    Publication number: 20090311539
    Abstract: A coating and associated method for coating is disclosed. The coating provides a hard, transparent coating to a substrate. A soft coating is first deposited upon the substrate, and a hard coating is then deposited upon the soft coating layer. The soft and hard coating layers both have the general composition SiOxCy. Multiple alternating layers of a soft and hard coating may be deposited. The soft and hard coatings are deposited by a plasma vapor deposition process.
