<p>A glass article having improved resistance to moisture driven strenght degradation includes a glass substrate and a layer of a cured reactive coating composition coated on a surface of the substrate. The reactive coating composition includes from about 10 weight percent to about 74 weight percent of a film forming monomer having two (meth)acryloyl groups per molecule; from about 5 weight percent to about 50 weight percent of a reactive crosslinking monomer having at least three (meth)acryloyl groups per molecule; from about 20 weight percent to about 60 weight percent of a fluorinated (meth)acrylate monomer; from about 1 weight percent to about 30 weight percent of an organosilane monomer having one or more functional groups capable of reacting with the glass substrate and having a nonhydrolyzable organic functional group capable of reacting with a (meth)acryloyl group and an effective amount of a polymerization initiator compound. A method for increasing the resistance of a glass article to moisture driven strength degradation includes applying a layer of the above described reactive coating composition and then curing the layer, preferably by irradiating the coated article with high intensity UV radiation.</p> |
