    • This study presents the development of abaca fabric-reinforced polyester composites for outdoor applications having hydrophobic surface quality and enhanced mechanical properties. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings of 20–135 nm was deposited without interlayer, directly on 2.5-mm thick abaca/polyester composites using filtered cathode vacuum arc system. Before film deposition, the substrate plasma etching was performed for better film adhesion. Microstructural studies include Raman Spectroscopy… CONTINUE READING
