Coated article and method of manufacturing the article

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Disclosed is a coated article having a substrate with an adherent, abrasion resistant alkene-silane plasma reaction product coating. In a preferred exemplification the coating is substantially transparent to visible light and partially absorbing to ultraviolet light. The coating is a plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition deposited coating prepared by providing the substrate to be coated in a vacuum chamber; providing a deposition gas comprising at least one oxygen source; and forming and maintaining a plasma in contact with the substrate to decompose the gas and deposit a reaction product coating of the silane, the unsaturated hydrocarbon and the, oxygen source on the substrate.
