Abstract:
1. A method of replenishing a worn substrate comprising the steps of: cleaning a surface of said worn substrate; treating said surface with oxygen plasma; after said treating step, applying an adhesion promoter to said surface; after said step of applying said adhesion promoter, applying a hybrid coating mixture to said surface to form a hybrid coating, said hybrid coating including an organosilane component, a metal alkoxide component and a surfactant component; and curing said hybrid coating to restore clarity and abrasion resistance to said worn substrate; wherein said worn substrate is a transparent part having an optical clarity acceptable for a window; wherein said metal alkoxide component is present in said mixture at a molar ratio of about 75:1 with respect to said surfactant component, and after curing the hybrid coating has an initial clarity greater than 98.
