Articles including a (co)polymer reaction product of a urethane (multi)-(meth)acrylate (multi)-silane

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 comprises the reaction product of at least one urethane (multi)-(meth)acrylate (multi)-silane precursor compound of the formula:
• RS—N(H)—C(O)—O—RA or RS—O—C(O)—N(H)—RA, wherein:
• RS is a silane containing group of the formula —R1—[Si(Yp)(R2)3−p]q, further 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,
• each Y is a hydrolysable group,
• R2 is a monovalent alkyl or aryl group;
• p is 1, 2, or 3, and
• q is 1-5;
• and
• 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, further wherein:
• X2 is —O, —S, or —NR3,
• R3 is H, or C1-C4, and
• n=1 to 5.
