| abstract |
Production of nano-structurised mouldings and coatings comprises: (a) preparing a fluid composition containing nano-scale inorganic solid particles (I) with polymerisable and/or polycondensable organic groups on the surface; (b1) placing the composition in a mould or (b2) applying it to a substrate; and (c) polymerisation and/or polycondensation of the surface groups of (I) to form a cured moulding or coating. Also claimed are nanostructurised mouldings and coatings produced in this way. |
