	Organically modified ceramic coatings improve the durability and protective capacity of architectural fabrics and provide photoselective and/or reflective optical effects. Precursors for these coatings include the modified alkoxy silane 3-glycidyloxypropyl)-trimethoxysilane, which can be hydrolyzed to form a sol. Modifying the sol with alkoxysilanes with fluorinated side chains forms networks that improve scratch and abrasion resistance, as well as confer oleophobic and hydrophobic properties. A study developed an abrasion resistant glass fibre thin coating system based on organically modified ceramic materials that incorporate nanosized metal oxide particles. Technology 2: Modern approaches for intelligent surface modification Research concentrates on the development of new methods for specific modification or functionalization of synthetic fibre surfaces to achieve improved or even new properties. One is an innovative method for textile finishing that involves modification of fibre material with organically modified ceramics, which combine advantages of organic polymers and ceramics. Another approach to create specific surface properties involves photochemical and/or physical modifications using excimer-UV-light sources. These special light sources emit monochromatic radiation that allows well-defined modification processes.
