Abstract:
A polymer-based mirror, comprising:a transparent synthetic resin substrate having an anterior surface and a posterior surface; a tie-bond layer formed on said anterior surface and said posterior surface of said synthetic resin substrate; a multi-layer surface-hardening coating formed adjacent to said tie-bond layer on said anterior surface of said synthetic resin substrate; a multi-layer reflective coating formed adjacent to one of said tie-bond layer on said posterior surface of said synthetic resin substrate and said surface-hardening coating; a protective back-coat layer formed as an outer posterior surface of said mirror; a multi-layer hydrophilic coating formed adjacent to an outer surface of surface-hardening coating, wherein at least one layer of said multi-layer hydrophilic coating includes zirconia; and a hydrophobic coating formed over an outer surface of said hydrophilic coating.
