Abstract:
1. A data storage medium, comprising: a substrate comprising an amorphous thermoplastic resin having a reflective metal layer; a haze-prevention layer interposed between the substrate and the reflective metal layer, wherein the haze-prevention layer comprises a material having a volume resistivity of at least 1×10 a protective metal oxide layer having a percent transmittance of at least 90% measured according to ASTM D1003 at 25° C.; wherein the reflective layer is interposed between the haze-prevention layer and the protective metal oxide layer; and wherein the reflective layer contacts the protective metal oxide layer; wherein the haze-prevention layer comprises a plasma-polymerized organosilicone, wherein the organosilione has the formula wherein each occurrence of R is independently C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, C 3 -C 6 alkenyl alkyl, or C 6 -C 18 aryl; n is 0 to 100; and m is 1 to 100; and wherein the data storage medium is adapted for reading via the substrate.
