Patent ID: 7182807

Claim:
An aqueous solution comprising at least one vinyl silane and at least one bis-silyl aminosilane, wherein said at least one vinyl silane and said at least one bis-silyl aminosilane are at least partially hydrolyzed, and wherein the bis-silyl aminosilane comprises: wherein: each R 6 is individually chosen from the group consisting of: hydrogen and C 1 –C 24 alkyl; each R 3 is individually chosen from the group consisting of: substituted aliphatic groups, unsubstituted aliphatic groups, substituted aromatic groups, and unsubstituted aromatic groups; and X 2 is either: wherein each R 4 is hydrogen; and R 5 is chosen from the groups consisting of: substituted and unsubstituted aliphatic groups, and substituted and unsubstituted aromatic groups; and wherein the ratio (by volume) of the total concentration of vinyl silanes to the total concentration of bis-silyl aminosilanes in said silane solution is greater than 5; and wherein the total concentration of bis-silyl aminosilanes in said solution is between about 0.1% and 0.75%.
