Transition metal oxide complex coupling agents coated on siliceous substrates

摘要

A substrate such as glass contains a coating of a transition metal oxide complex with an ortho functional aromatic compound which contains a functional group which can react with a phenolic or resorcinolic resin or other organic compound or polymer. The ortho functional aromatic compound can also be a phenolic or resorcinolic resin. The complex serves as a coupling agent between the substrate and the organic material. These coupling agents can be resinous coatings or they can be coatings which serve as a coupling agent type of composition for rendering the surfaces of the substrates more substantive or reactive to organic materials. The coatings are inorganic-organic complexes of a transition metal oxide or a hydroxide with an ortho functional aromatic compound. The aromatic compound can contain at least two functional groups in ortho position to each other and a functional group for interfacing or reacting with the organic material.
