During the last years, the employment of light polymeric materials, to replace those commonly used in the automotive industry, has been investigated by many equipment manufacturers. Polymeric glazing, e.g. polycarbonate, are desirable because of their ability to reduce weight and fuel consumption, while providing good optical properties and impact resistance. In this paper, we report a two steps low pressure plasma treatment composed by an etching, optimized for the nano-texturing of polycarbonate to improve its anti-reflective property by simulating the so-called "Moth eye" effect, and by a plasma enhanced-chemical vapour deposition process to enhance the scratch resistance. Reflectance/transmittance measurements showed that this approach is able to increase the antireflective property of the polycarbonate without drastically damaging its transmittance, while scratching test by "car wash" simulator demonstrated the increase of scrape resistance. The haze test confirmed the transparency of the plasma treated polymer also after washing. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
