Abstract: A UV curable composition for forming a polymeric coating on a substrate as described may include an optically clear colorless UV curable base comprising a combination of one or more multifunctional polymer precursor and a fluorinated polymer precursor. One or more of the multifunctional polymer precursor and fluorinated polymer precursor may comprise a non-charged electrically conductive site sufficient to disperse a static charge from the surface of the polymeric coating.

Abstract: Silica based compositions that may be used coatings, films or other cast structures, as well as related methods and resulting structures are provided. In one embodiment, a hybrid nanosilica (HNS) composition includes tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), methyl triethoxysilane (MTEOS) and glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS). The composition may be used as a coating to provide various types of protection and device performance enhancement. For example, the composition may be used for impact protection or corrosion resistance. In one particular embodiment, optically enhancing nanoparticles may be dispersed throughout the HNS material and used as an antireflective coating (ARC) for various optical purposes.
