The present disclosure provides a composite structure and associated method for preparing a composite substrate comprising an inorganic coating that is adhered to an organic-based substrate via an adhesion promoting agent comprising a molecule having a urea moiety at one end of the molecule and an alkoxysilane moiety at the other end of the molecule. The use of adhesion promoting agent having at least one of an amine or imine moiety and an alkoxysilane moiety promotes tight adhesion of the inorganic coating to the substrate.

Nanocomposite blends include metal oxide nanoparticles and at least two (meth)acrylic acid polymers where the nanoparticles are surface modified with a carboxylic acid silane and where the (meth)acrylic acid polymers are at least partially neutralized. The compositions are transparent, with high transmission and low haze up to very high nanoparticle loading. The compositions also exhibit improved mechanical properties of impact resistance and tensile modulus.
