Abstract: A heat-settable composition for a coating which is hydrophobic, oleophobic and resistant to abrasion, wherein the coating contains a hydrolyzate obtained from a solution of: one or more epoxidized alkoxysilane having alkoxy groups which are directly linked to the silicon atom; a hydrolyzable, non-epoxidized silane; colloidal silica; a catalyst which promotes cleavage of an epoxy bond; and at least one fluorinated hydrolyzable alkylsilane; and the use of the heat-settable composition in the preparation of a coated substrate of organic glass or mineral glass material, coated with a coating obtained from the heat-settable composition, with the substrate preferably being a pane (comprised of glass or a polymeric material) or an ophthalmic lens.

Abstract: The invention relates to a substrate provided, on at least a portion of one of its faces, with a coating with a photocatalytic property based on titanium dioxide which is at least partially crystalline and which is incorporated in the said coating partly in the form of particles predominantly crystallized in the anatase form. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of this substrate and organic dispersions of titanium dioxide particles used in the said process for the preparation of the substrate.

Abstract: A window glass comprising a substrate made of glass, which is optionally covered, at least in part, by one or more layers and a hydrophobic-oleophobic, abrasion-resistant coating comprising an essentially mineral sublayer and a hydrophobic-oleophobic layer, wherein the density of the sublayer is equal to at least 80% of that of its constituent material.

Abstract: An anti-fogging coating comprises from 40 to 80% by weight of at least one acrylic or methacrylic acid monomer, from 20 to 60% by weight of at least one short chain acrylic or methacrylic acid ester monomer and, in relation to the total weight of the preceding monomers, from 1 to 15% of a crosslinking agent and from 0.1 to 5% of a polymerization initiator compound using the action of ultraviolet radiation. Transparent products formed from a glass or poly(methyl methacrylate) support and a layer of the preceding composition, polymerized and crosslinked by the action of ultraviolet radiation, exhibit good anti-fogging and mechanical resistance properties.

Abstract: Laminated pane, comprising at least one glass sheet, and at least one film of plastics material. Between the film of plastics material and the glass sheet there Is disposed an adhesive film of a material having the property of an adhesion to the glas. The adhesive film is selected so that it adheres more strongly to the glass than to the plastics material.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive plastic layer used in laminated glazings, in particular as an intermediate layer. The plastic layer contains, radiochemically grafted onto at least one of its surfaces, monomer and/or oligomers of an unsaturated monomer, such as acrylic acid or salts of said monomer.
