Inorganic-organic hybrid materials and abrasion resistant coatings based on a sol-gel approach

Novel inorganic-organic hybrid materials made previously in the laboratory have utilized acids catalysts such as HCI, acetic acid, toluene sulfonic acid and polystyrene sulfonic acid to catalyze the sol-gel reaction. The sol-gel reaction can also be catalyzed under near neutral (i.e. 5 < pH <...
