Main Methods:

Utilized atomized spray plasma deposition (ASPD) with a precursor mixture of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methacryloyl-functionalized silica nanoparticles.
Applied the resulting poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-silica nanocomposite coatings directly to overlapping glass-glass joints.
Characterized the shear bond strength and shear modulus of the coated joints.

Main Results:

Successfully formed uniform poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-silica nanocomposite layers.
Achieved excellent in situ adhesion to glass-glass joints, with shear bond strength reaching 84 MPa.
Measured a shear modulus of 6 GPa, with failure occurring in the bulk glass, indicating strong interfacial adhesion.
Demonstrated that methacryloyl groups on silica nanoparticle surfaces enhance cross-linking within the nanocomposite layer.

Conclusions:

Atomized spray plasma deposition is an effective method for creating high-performance polymer-silica nanocomposite coatings.
The functionalization of silica nanoparticles with methacryloyl groups significantly improves the interfacial adhesion and mechanical integrity of glass-glass joints.
These nanocomposite coatings offer a viable solution for applications requiring robust and durable bonding of glass components.
