Patent number: 9249264Abstract: A hybrid film-forming composition is prepared by forming an aqueous mixture including an organofunctional silane, a metal chloride, and an acid, and boiling the mixture. A base is added to the aqueous mixture to substantially neutralize the mixture and to form a hydroxide of the metal. A colloidal suspension including the metal hydroxide and a siloxy compound is formed. A peroxide-based solution is added to the suspension to form a suspension including a peroxide of the metal. The suspension is allowed to equilibrate at room temperature. The suspension is boiled at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure to form a hybrid film-forming composition including the condensation product of a siloxy compound and a metal peroxide. A coating formed from the hybrid film-forming composition may be hydrophobic or hydrophilic.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Envont LLCInventors: James Joseph DeLuca, Gary D Tucker

Publication number: 20090163647Abstract: A composition includes an aqueous carrier and the condensation product of a silicon peroxide and a transition metal peroxide. The composition can be prepared by a process including boiling a mixture including a silicon peroxide, a transition metal peroxide, and an aqueous carrier at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. The composition can further include nano-sized particles of metal oxide. A process for preparing an article includes applying the composition to the surface of a substrate and removing the aqueous carrier to form a hybrid metal oxide coating on the surface of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2008Publication date: June 25, 2009Applicant: EnVont LLCInventors: James Joseph DeLuca, Gary D.
