The invention is related to a process to apply a heater function to a plastic glass that was made of a polycarbonate. The process includes a sputtering process that allows producing high performance heater function on a plastic glass. Another aspect of the invention is the plastic glass mirrors produced by the inventive process.

Process to apply heater function to plastic substrate

A reinforced polypropylene mirror assembly, and process for making the same, are described. The mirror assembly, especially the components thereof, includes a long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene material. Additionally, various additives may also be included in the reinforced polypropylene material, such as a UV stabilizer. Because of the physical properties of the reinforced polypropylene material, it is possible to combined several individual components of a conventional automobile side view mirror assembly into single, integral components, thus reducing part content, vehicle weight, and construction costs.
