2 Introduction
3 Materials and Method
Hybrid materials have been receiving considerable attention as a new
class of materials for their new, original properties based on a
combination of organic and inorganic polymer [1]. This combination of
organic and inorganic materials within the same material creates new
properties in terms of mechanical, electrical, physical or optical
properties. They contribute to the increase of scratch resistance, UV
resistance, durability, hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity, easy to clean
property and flexibility of the coating surfaces [2]. Nowadays, there is
numerous thin film coating methods. Sol-gel method is one of the most
widely applied methods, since it is easy, cheap, and handy. Sol-gel

method is an appropriate method for obtaining both inorganic and hybrid
inorganic-organic polymers [3,4].

Materials and Method
Titanium isopropoxide, Zirconium n-propoxide, Diethylenetriamine
(DETA),3-triethoxysilylpropyl isocyanate (ICPTES), 2-propanol were
obtained Merck and Sigma-Aldrich. All chemicals were used without
further purification. f-DETA (Fig.1)., the reaction product of DETA with
3-ICPTES was first synthesed for the preparation of abrasion-resistant
coatings. Later, Ti and Zr alkoxides was incorporated into the f-DETA Fig. 4 Gloss Meter
solution to increase the abrasion resistance of the final coating. Final
solution was coated on PC with a film applicator. Thin films were
characterized by Light Transmittance/Haze Meter, Scratch
Resistance Meter and Gloss Meter
(Fig.2-4).
