Urea (multi)-(meth)acrylate (multi)-silane compositions and articles including the same

A process, comprising:

• (a) applying a base (co)polymer layer to a major surface of a substrate selected from a (co)polymeric film or an electronic device, the electronic device further comprising an organic light emitting device (OLED), an electrophoretic light emitting device, a liquid crystal display, a thin film transistor, a photovoltaic device, or a combination thereof;
• (b) applying an oxide layer on the base (co)polymer layer;
• and
• (c) depositing on the oxide layer a protective (co)polymer layer, wherein the protective (co)polymer layer consists of a (co)polymer formed as a reaction product of a mixture of only a (meth)acrylic compound and at least one urea (multi)-(meth)acrylate (multi)-silane precursor compound of the formula:
• RS—N(R5)—C(O)—N(H)—RA,
• wherein:
• Rs is a silane containing group of the formula:
• —R1—[Si(Yp)(R2)3-p]q,
• wherein:
• R1 is a multivalent alkylene, arylene, alkarylene, or aralkylene group, said alkylene, arylene, alkarylene, or aralkylene groups optionally containing one or more catenary oxygen atoms,
• Y is a hydrolysable group,
• R2 is a monovalent alkyl or aryl group,
• p is 1, 2, or 3, and
• q is 1-5;
• RA is a (meth)acryl group containing group of the formula:
• R11-(A)n,
• wherein:
• R11 is a polyvalent alkylene, arylene, alkarylene, or aralkylene group, said alkylene, arylene, alkarylene, or aralkylene groups optionally containing one or more catenary oxygen atoms,
• A is a (meth)acryl group comprising the formula X2—C(O)—C(R3)═CH2 wherein:
• X2 is —O, —S, or —NR3, where R3 is H, or C1-C4;
• and n═1 to 5;
• and
• R5 is H, C1 to C6 alkyl, C3 to C6 cycloalkyl, or Rs, with the proviso that at least one of the following conditions applies:
• n is 2 to 5, R5 is Rs, or q is 2 to 5, optionally wherein the (meth)acrylic compound is tricyclodecane dimethanol diacrylate.
