The disclosure is directed to a chemically strengthened glass having antimicrobial properties and to a method of making such glass. In particular, the disclosure is directed to a chemically strengthened glass with antimicrobial properties and with a low surface energy coating on the glass that does not interfere with the antimicrobial properties of the glass. The antimicrobial has an Ag ion concentration on the surface in the range of greater than zero to 0.047 g/cm.sup.2. The glass has particular applications as antimicrobial shelving, table tops and other applications in hospitals, laboratories and other institutions handling biological substances, where color in the glass is not a consideration.

A wear coating is disclosed that includes a layer treated by a trifunctional organosilane. An article is also disclosed, the article having a surface to which the wear coating is applied. A method of applying the wear coating is also disclosed. In some embodiments, the organosilane is trimethylsilane and the wear coating is applied by chemical vapor deposition, followed by heat treating the wear coating in the presence of the trimethylsilane.

A chip component includes a magnetic substrate having ferrite layers, and an insulating layer disposed on the magnetic substrate and having an electrode disposed therein. An external electrode is connected to the electrode on the insulating layer. The magnetic substrate and the insulating layer have a chemical coupling structure formed on an interface therebetween. The chemical coupling structure includes SiOC or SiON.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to coated glass articles which reduce glass particle formation caused by glass to glass contact in pharmaceutical glass filling lines.
