Abstract

A curable composition comprises (a) at least one inorganic or organic compound comprising reactive silane functionality comprising at least one hydrosilyl moiety; (b) at least one inorganic or organic compound comprising reactive silane functionality comprising at least one hydroxysilyl moiety, the hydroxysilyl moiety optionally being generated in situ by hydrolysis of at least one hydrosilyl moiety; and (c) at least one photoactivatable composition that, upon exposure to radiation, generates at least one base selected from amidines, guanidines, phosphazenes, proazaphosphatranes, and combinations thereof; with the proviso that, when component (a) is an organic polymer, then component (b) is different from component (a) and is not generated in situ by hydrolysis of component (a).

(c) at least one photoactivatable component that, upon exposure to radiation, generates at least one base selected from phosphazenes, proazaphosphatranes, and combinations thereof;

with the proviso that, when said component (a) is an organic polymer, then said component (b) is different from said component (a) and is not generated in situ by hydrolysis of said component (a).

2. A curable composition comprising
(a) at least one inorganic or organic compound comprising reactive silane functionality comprising at least one hydrosilyl moiety;
(b) at least one inorganic or organic compound comprising reactive silane functionality comprising at least one hydroxysilyl moiety, said hydroxysilyl moiety optionally being generated in situ by hydrolysis of at least one said hydrosilyl moiety; and
