The present invention provides a method for the formation of an organic coating on a substrate. The method includes: providing a substrate in a vacuum; providing at least one vaporized organic material comprising at least one component from at least one source, wherein the vaporized organic material is capable of condensing in a vacuum of less than about 130 Pa; providing a plasma 10 from at least one source other than the source of the vaporized organic material; directing the vaporized organic material and the plasma toward the substrate; and causing the vaporized organic material to condense and polymerize on the substrate in the presence of the plasma to form an organic coating.
An article comprising a substrate having a coating comprising silicone;
An article comprising a substrate having a multi-layer coating having a first layer comprising a carbon-rich material, a second layer comprising silicone that is at least partially polymerized and has no infrared absorption peaks for C—H or C—H2, and an intermediate layer between the two layers comprising a carbon and silicone composite.
An article comprising a substrate having a coating comprising silicone, which coating has the following properties:
