The sol-gel process is an innovative advanced method, initially developed to
synthesize glass and ceramics at low temperature. The sol-gel process can be
used to synthesize materials with various of shapes, such as porous membranes,
thin fibers, nano-size powders and thin films. In this study, epoxy and
methacrylate-based silane coupling agents are used together with zirconium
oxide to form a hybrid coating system on the glass surface. In the experimental
study, an organic–inorganic molecular hybrid compound was prepared by the
sol-gel method. Glasses were cleaned by traditional piranha solution (3:1
H2SO4: H2O2) to remove contaminants. Silanization was applied to increase the
adhesion of hybrid coatings on glass substrates. Glass substrate was coated with
this solution by a homemade dip-coater. (3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane,
GLYMO and 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propylmethacrylate, TMSPM) were chosen as
a silane. Zirconia is an inorganic component of hybrid materials. Coated samples
were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR),
Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy
(SEM-EDX), and Contact Angle Goniometer.
