The composition of Zr-based thin films on rubber was investigated by utilizing the Rutherford backscattering technique and RUMP code simulation. The level of adhesion between the coating fabricated on rubber by means of self-ion assisted deposition was measured using Pin Pull Test. The coating deposited on the rubber consists of Zr, O, C, H. The self-ion assisted deposition process may successfully control the level of adhesion of the coating to the rubber and causes strong modification of the macroscopic properties of the rubber surface.
