Organically modified silicates (Ormosils) are widely utilized as protective coatings due to their excellent mechanical properties and tailorable coating compositions. This paper reports the fracture toughness of 3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GLYMO) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) sol–gel coa...
