A coating product composition has the general formula AO x -(L-Me n+ ) i , wherein AO x is a metal or metalloid oxide in which x indicates the number of the Oxygen atom(s) (O) bonded to the metal (A) atom, Me n+ is a metal ion, L is a bifunctional molecule that could bind both metal oxide or metalloid oxide (AO x ) and the metal ion (Me n+ ), i is the number of the (L-Me n+ ) groups bound to the metal oxide AO x . The value of the parameter i depends on various factors, such as the size of the nanoparticle of AO x , and the nature of the molecule L. |
