Abstract

Polycarbonate is one of the most widely used engineering plastics because of its transparency and high impact strength. The poor wear and scratch properties of polycarbonate have limited its application in many fields. In order to improve the wear and scratch properties of polycarbonate we have deposited diamond like carbon (DLC) coatings. The diamond like carbon coatings were made using a high frequency ion beam gun by introducing H2 and CH4 gases. The coatings were characterized with scanning electron microscope, Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometer, and microscratch tester. Polymer hard coating was applied onto the polycarbonate substrate before depositing a diamond like carbon coating to see the effect of interlayer on the system's failure mechanism.
