A ceramic and plastic composite includes a ceramic matrix and a plastic layer. Plastics are injected onto the surface of the baked ceramic matrix to form a plastic layer. The plastic layer more deeply fills nanoholes distributed on the surface of the ceramic matrix to have higher adhesion. Thus, the higher combined strength and air tightness exist between the ceramic matrix and the plastic layer to improve the reliability and the using performance of the ceramic and plastic composite.

The invention provides a novel ceramic-metal oxide-polymer composite material. A functionalized metal oxide nanolayer coating can be bonded between LICGCs and polymers/oligomers, which protects the LICGC from corrosion, has a low interfacial resistance to Li.sup.+ migration, and can be a SIC. Hybrid ceramic-polymer electrolytes were formed by engineering the interface between a LICGC and a polymer, polyethylene oxide (PEO), by sputter coating a 200 nm thick SiO.sub.2 layer onto a lithium ion conducting glass ceramic (LICGC) and silanating the SiO.sub.2 with a functionalized PEG in the presence of LiTFSI. A low interfacial resistance (R.sub.interfacial) was measured, the same as that obtained for a SiO.sub.2 interface soaked with liquid tetraglyme/LiTFSI. The pegylated SiO.sub.2 interface (unlike the tetraglyme/LiTFSI interface) protected the LICGC from corrosion by Li.sup.0 metal. The (PEG-LiTFSI)-SiO.sub.2-LICGC could be bonded with polyethylene oxide/LiTFSI. This procedure provides a general method to bond other LICGCs to PEO-based polymers, and to incorporate other functionalities such as single ion conductivity into the interface via the incorporation of coupling agents with pendant anions.
