A composition is comprised of the following: a) a hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silane selected from alkoxysilanes and acyloxysilanes; b) a solvent consisting of an organic liquid or mixture of two or more organic liquids in which component (a) and component (c) are soluble and c) a cross-linking prepolymer, oligomer, resin or mixtures thereof that forms a low dielectric constant cross-linked polyarylene. A coating may be made using the composition wherein the coating is comprised of a cross-linked polymer of a low dielectric cross-linking prepolymer, oligomer, resin or mixture thereof and a hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed silane, said coating being adhered to a surface of a substrate wherein said surface is comprised of a first material that is a metal, ceramic or polymer and a second material that is (i) a metal, ceramic, or polymer and (ii) different than the first material. |
