Multilayered film

Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a composite film comprising a metal, an alloy and/or an inorganic substance with an organic substance, which is excellent in decorative property, protection and functionality. Methods applicable for forming such a composite film include a technique of evaporating a metal, an alloy, and/or an inorganic substance and an organic substance, simultaneously exciting the evaporated particles, and causing vapour-deposition in the state of ionized particles, neutral particles or radicals, and a method of sputtering, without excitation, etc. The film of the present invention has excellent colour tone and wear resistance, and a frictional coefficient lower than that of a film formed from a metal, alloy or inorganic substance alone. Reduction in the consumption of expensive metals, alloys or inorganic substances is also achieved.
