Inorganic-Organic Sol-Gel Derived Hybrid Materials as Abrasion Resistant Coatings

Inorganic-organic hybrid materials have been developed using sol-gel reactions of a trialkoxysilylated organic compound and a metal or semi-metal alkoxide and applied as coatings on polymeric or metallic substrates. Many of these coatings have demonstrated good to excellent abrasion resistance....
