Cover: The cover picture shows an aircraft window (PMMA) positioned below a monomer shower head and a microwave excited alcohol plasma. This treatment improves the adhesion of a subsequently deposited a:SiO x C y H z hardcoating through the dual function of etching the PMMA and the deposition of a compatibilising layer. Further details can be found in the article by C. Hall on page 398 .
