A Protective Glass Coating for Plastic Optical Components

Abstract

A coating technique is described for the deposition of a protective glass coating on CR-39 plastic material. Deposition parameters such as the cleaning technique, an intermediate Cr binding layer, and the thickness of the glass coating have a significant effect on the adherence and abrasion resistant properties of the coated plastic. The optical and physical properties of the coated plastic are present as are several applications of this coating.
