Sol-gel processing is a versatile method for depositing oxide based co
atings on a variety of substrates in an economical manner. The present
review will consider coatings deposited on glass, and will discuss a
number of representative applications for such coatings, namely anti-r
eflection coatings, transparent conducting coatings, anti-static coati
ngs, fluorinated coatings, coatings incorporating active dye molecules
and ferroelectric coatings. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.
