Hydrophobicity attainment and wear resistance enhancement on glass substrates by atmospheric plasma-polymerization of mixtures of an aminosilane and a fluorocarbon

- APTES and PFH were used to coat glass by non-thermal atmospheric jet plasma.
- A mixture of 75% of APTES and 25% PFH produced the best sample of this work.
- Hydrophobicity was achieved by changes in surface morphology and chemistry.
- Wear resistance was enhanced by the formation of siloxane groups.
