A hard, transparent coating for a substrate and associated method for coating is disclosed. The coating includes alternating layers of a soft coating and a hard coating. The coating further includes a sensor. The electrical resistivity of the sensor may be measured to determine if the coating has been degraded. The coating may further include a hydrophobic outer layer.

Durable transparent intelligent coatings for polymeric transparencies

A coating and associated method for coating is disclosed. The coating provides a hard, transparent, UV blocking coating for a substrate. A UV blocking layer is first deposited upon the substrate, and a hard coating is deposited above the UV blocking layer. A soft coating layer may be deposited between the UV blocking layer and the hard coating. The soft and hard coating layers may both have the general composition SiOC. the soft and hard coating layers may be deposited by a plasma vapor deposition process.

In one aspect, a vehicle may include an energy storage device, the energy storage device being configured to supply electrical power to the vehicle; a cover defining an internal volume and an opening into the internal volume, the energy storage device being received in the internal volume, wherein the cover is formed as a layered structure including at least a first layer and a second layer inside the first layer, the first layer consisting of a woven ceramic fabric and the second layer consisting essentially of oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers.

Vehicle with containment device and method for containing energy storage devices

A containment device including a cover defining an internal volume and an opening into the internal volume, the cover being formed as a layered structure including at least a first layer and a second layer, the first layer comprising a woven ceramic fabric and the second layer comprising oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers.
