Scratch resistance enhancement of 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane coating incorporated with silver nanoparticles

An effective method to enhance scratch resistance was developed using a 3-glycidyloxyproplytrimethoxysilane as a base on the formation of a transparent coating on glass substrate. The addition of silver nanoparticles improves further the scratch hardness of the thin film coating. The critical load o...
