Abstract:
A coated glass comprising:a soda inclusive glass substrate comprising, on a weight basis:SiO.sub.2 from about 60-80%, Na.sub.2 O from about 10-20%, CaO from about 0-16%, K.sub.2 O from about 0-10%, MgO from about 0-10%, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 from about 0-5%;a non-crystalline diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating provided on and in direct contact with said glass substrate, wherein said DLC coating includes at least a first highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon layer having at least about 35% sp.sup.3 carbon--carbon bonds and an average density of at least about 2.4 gm/cm.sup.3 ; andwherein sp.sup.3 carbon--carbon bonds are subimplanted into said glass substrate so as to bond said DLC coating to said glass substrate.
