This is a two-component sol-gel system with 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MaPTMS) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). Herein we show that if we change the co-solvent required for solubilizing MaPTMS from the more common methanol and… more Full Text: UV-Curable hybrid sol-gel materials: The development and application of a 3methacryloxypropytrimethoxysilanederived coating A Thesis submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctorate of …
