An article of manufacture includes an elastomeric substrate and a plasma deposited polymeric coating on a portion of the elastomeric substrate. The polymeric coating can include a crosslinked amorphous polymer represented by a formula selected from the group consisting of: (1) M1xCyHzOaNb wherein M1 is a metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, silicon, tantalum, germanium, boron, zirconium, aluminum, hafnium, and yttrium, wherein x ranges from 0 to 1, y ranges from 0 to 12, z ranges from 0 to 28, a ranges from 0 to 4, and b ranges from 0 to 4, subject to the proviso that at least one of M1 or C must be present and at least one of C, H, O, or N must be present in said polymeric coating composition, except that M1 and H may not be exclusively present; and (2) M2cCdHeOfNg wherein M2 is a metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, tantalum, germanium, boron, zirconium, aluminum, hafnium, and yttrium, wherein c ranges from 0 to 1, d ranges from 0 to 12, e ranges from 0 to 28; f ranges from 0 to 4, and g ranges from 0 to 4, subject to the proviso that at least one of M2 or C must be present and at least one of C, H, O, or N must be present in said polymeric coating composition, except that M2 and H may not be exclusively present.
