Silica sols were synthesized by an acid-catalyzed sol-gel process and fluoro-acrylate polymer/SiO₂ hybrid materials were prepared by the in-situ polymerization and blending method. The structure, morphologies of the hybrid coating and the dispersion of SiO₂ in coatings were characterized by FT-IR and SEM. The effects of content, distribution and interfacial conditions of inorganic disperse phase on the surface and mechanical properties of hybrid coatings were investigated. It was found that in the hybrid coatings, SiO₂ subsisted in networks, and covalent linked with organic components. The dispersion of SiO₂ in coats prepared by in-situ polymerization method was better than that by blending method. The water contact angles were enhanced with SiO₂ content for the coatings by the two methods, while in the same SiO₂content, the properties for the coatings by blending method were slightly better than that by in-situ polymerization method. The hardness and adhesion of the hybrid coatings had the same trend with the increase of SiO₂content, in-situ polymerization method was better than that by blending method.
