A waterborne suspension comprises surface treated ceria particles, a water dispersible binder resin, at least one surfactant, and an aqueous solvent. The surface-treated cerium oxide particles have a mixture of one of hydrophobic and hydrophilic decane surface treating agents, wherein the ratio of the hydrophilic decane surface treating agent to the hydrophobic decane surface treating agent is greater than 1. The aqueous suspensions can be coated and dried to form a nanostructured tie layer, particularly to a tie layer of a polyoxyl or (meth)acrylate layer. |
