Plastic formed articles having a vapor deposited film and method of producing the same

Abstract

A plastic formed article comprising a plastic substrate and a vapor deposited film formed on the surface of the plastic substrate by a plasma CVD method, wherein the vapor deposited film includes an organometal vapor deposited layer having an element ratio C/Si of 2.5 to 13 and an element ratio O/M of not larger than 0.5, and a hydrocarbon vapor deposited layer; and the hydrocarbon vapor deposited layer has a thickness in a range of 40 to 180 nm, exhibits peaks stemming from CH, CH2 and CH3 over a region of wave numbers of 3200 to 2600 cm−1 as measured by FT-IR, and has a CH2 ratio of not larger than 35% and a CH3 ratio of not less than 40%. A film is deposited on a plastic formed article without deteriorated by oxidation, without thermally deformed or without thermally deteriorated not only when PET or polyolefin is used but also when polylactic acid is used as the plastic substrate.
