The invention relates in an embodiment to a glass substrate with increased weathering and chemical resistance where a surface bears a SiOxCy coating wherein the O/Si atomic ratio is comprised between 1.75 and 1.95 and the SiOxCy coating thickness is comprised between 10 nm and 80 nm. Other embodiments relate to glazings having a glass substrate where a surface bears a SiOxCy coating wherein the O/Si atomic ratio is comprised between 1.2 and 1.95 and the SiOxCy coating thickness is comprised between 10 nm and 80 nm.

In certain example embodiments, a coated article includes a carbon-doped zirconium based layer before heat treatment (HT). The coated article is heat treated sufficiently to cause the carbon-doped zirconium oxide and/or nitride based layer to result in a carbon-doped zirconium oxide based layer that is scratch resistant and/or chemically durable. The doping of the layer with carbon (C) has been found to improve wear resistance.

The resin substrate laminate includes a release layer-attached support substrate 4, which has a support substrate 1 and a release layer 2 laminated on the support substrate 1, and a resin substrate 3 which is releasably laminated on a surface, which is opposite to the support substrate 1, of the release layer 2, in which a composition of a surface of the release layer 2 is Si.sub.xC.sub.yO.sub.z (0.05x0.49, 0.15y0.73, 0.22z0.36, x+y+z=1).

Solvents for macromolecules generally believed to be insoluble in their pristine form are identified by generation of a solvent resonance in the relationship between solvent quality (deduced by Rayleigh scattering) and an intrinsic property of solvents. A local extreme of the solvent resonance identifies the ideal intrinsic property of an ideal solvent which may then be used to select a particular solvent or solvent combination. A solvent for graphene is used in the production of transparent conductive electrodes.

A composite material for a pharmaceutical packaging is provided that includes a substrate and a protective layer. The substrate has a contact region in contact with the protective layer. The contact region includes a contact area between the substrate and the protective layer and a region of the substrate close to the surface. The substrate is made of glass or of a cyclic olefin polymer or a cyclic olefin copolymer, while the protective layer is made of ceramic material. The substrate in the contact region is different from the substrate outside the contact region.

A superstrate can include a body having a surface; a buffer layer overlying the surface; and a protective layer overlying the buffer layer, wherein the protective layer has a surface roughness that is equal to or less than a surface roughness of the surface of the body. The protective layer can include a material that can be selectively removed with respect to the buffer layer, and the buffer layer can include a material that can be selectively removed with respect to the body of the superstrate. The superstrate can be used for more planarization or other processing sequences before the body needs to be replaced, as defects may form extend into the protective layer or buffer layer and not reach the body. The layers can be removed and replaced by corresponding new layers without significantly adversely affecting the body.
