In order to elucidate mechanisms of glass strengthening by ORMOSIL polymeric coatings the effects of just the two polymeric coating components (epoxy resin and amine hardner) have been examined. Epoxy/hardner coatings are shown to increase the strength of indented soda-lime-silica glass slides by up to 300%.
