Hybrid coatings and associated methods of application

Abstract

A hybrid coating composition including an organosilane component, a metal alkoxide component and a surfactant component, with the metal alkoxide component present in the composition at a molar ratio of about 75:1 with respect to the surfactant component. The hybrid coating composition once cured on a transparent substrate has an initial clarity greater than 98. Transparent members are also disclosed that include a transparent substrate having the hybrid coating composition cured on a first major surface thereof.
