Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper we report on a study of the composition and growth rate of anti scratch silica-like coatings deposited on polycarbonate (PC) in an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge using a low frequency (28 kHz) high voltage generator in the tetraethoxysilane/He/O system. For the first time for this purpose the discharge was sustained between upper metal mesh and lower insulated solid electrodes and this reactor design had shown good results in uniformity of the scratch resistive films on plastic substrates. It has been shown that plasma pretreatment in pure helium leads to the 2.5-fold increase of PC surface energy in comparison to an untreated PC and provides a high adhesion of films deposited even at low deposition temperature (110 °C). Scratching experiments were carried out using standard test method for film hardness by pencil scratch test. The variations of coating hardness with the process parameters have been studied. It was found that despite some positive changes in the composition of the films, the introduction of oxygen had no significant improvement in the coatings’ properties.
