Abstract
High end glass products are imparted new functionalities through coatings. We show that scratch resistance is one of the main mechanical requirements placed upon such functionalizing thin films. We outline the approach that we develop toward a better understanding of thin film mechanics. Examples of recent results are presented relevant to the measurement of the adhesion of thin films and to the control over substrate effects in the elastic response of coated substrates.
