Abstract:
An article includes (a) a glass substrate having a modified surface that comprises a glass surface and a layer of nanoscale inorganic oxide particles disposed in contact with and bound to at least a portion of the glass surface, and (b) a polymer layer disposed in contact with and bound to the modified glass surface. A method for improving the hydrolytic stability of an interface of a glass surface and a polymer surface, includes the step of, prior to forming the interface of the glass surface and the polymer surface, treating at least a portion of the glass surface with nanoscale inorganic oxide particles to modify the glass surface by depositing a quantity of such particles on the portion of the surface.
