“…In doing so, it is possible to exploit the advantages of this fast and solvent-free radiation-induced polymerization, with the sol-gel benefits, leading to the formation of hybrid networks, generally in the form of thin coatings with superior scratch endurance, improved abrasion, heat and radiation resistance, and desirable mechanical and optical properties [87,88,89]. Vinylether, epoxide, or acrylate groups have been used as organic monomers, since they can undergo fast photopolymerizations [90,91,92] but even UV-mediated click reactions has also been applied [93,94]. Organic and inorganic precursors should be compatible in the reactive mixture.…”
