Abstract
An article comprises a carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) substrate, a buffer layer disposed adjacent the substrate, the buffer layer comprising a poly(para-xylylene) polymer; and a moisture barrier coating disposed adjacent the buffer layer.
Claims13
An article comprising:
- (i) a carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) substrate, wherein the CFRP substrate comprises a resin matrix system with a reinforcement comprising carbon fibres, aligned with each other in substantially one direction, disposed therein, wherein the reinforcement does not comprise a particulate dispersion,
- (ii) a buffer layer disposed adjacent the CFRP substrate, and comprising a poly(para-xylylene) polymer;
- and
- (iii) a moisture barrier coating comprising diamond-like carbon disposed adjacent the buffer layer.
