What is claimed is: 1. A composition comprising: an oligomer chosen from polyarylene oligomers, poly(cyclic-olefin) oligomers, arylcyclobutene oligomers, vinyl aromatic oligomers, and mixtures thereof; a poly(alkoxysilane) hydrolyzed with ≦1 mole % of water; and a solvent; wherein the composition comprises ≦1 mole % of alcohol of hydrolysis and wherein the poly(alkoxysilane) has from 2 to 6 alkoxysilane moieties. 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the poly(alkoxysilane) is hydrolyzed with ≦0.5 mole % of water. 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the poly(alkoxysilne) prior to being hydrolyzed has the formula: wherein each R is independently chosen from (C 1 -C 6 )alkylidene, (C 1 -C 6 )alkylene, (C 6 -C 10 )arylene, and (C 2 -C 6 )alkenylene; each R 1 is independently chosen from H, (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl and (C 1 -C 6 )acyl; each Z is independently chosen from (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl, (C 2 -C 6 )alkenyl and —OR 1 ; X═(C 6 -C 10 )arylene, N(Y) or a covalent bond; Y═H, (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl, (C 1 -C 6 )alkylene-N(Y 1 ) 2 , (C 2 -C 6 )alkenyl, (C 1 -C 6 )alkylene-Si(Z) 2 (OR 1 ), or aryl(meth)acryloyl; and Y 1 ═H, (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl, or (C 2 -C 6 )alkenyl; wherein each R is optionally substituted with one or more of (C 1 -C 6 )alkylidene-Si(Z) 2 (OR 1 ) and (C 1 -C 6 )alkylene-Si(Z) 2 (OR 1 ). 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the arylcyclobutane oligomer has the formula: wherein B is a n-valent linking group; Ar is a polyvalent aryl group and the carbon atoms of the cyclobutene ring are bonded to adjacent carbon atoms on the same aromatic ring of Ar; m is an integer of 1 or more; n is an integer of 1 or more; and R 5 is a monovalent group. 5. The composition of claim 1 having a mean particle size of ≦1 nm as determined by dynamic light scattering. 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the oligomer is an arylcyclobutene oligomer. 7. A process for manufacturing a device, comprising: providing a device substrate having a surface to be coated; disposing a coating of the composition comprising: an oligomer chosen from polyarylene oligomers, poly(cyclic-olefin) oligomers, arylcyclobutene oligomers, vinyl aromatic oligomers, and mixtures thereof; a poly(alkoxysilane) hydrolyzed with ≦1 mole % of water; and a solvent; wherein the composition comprises ≦1 mole % of alcohol of hydrolysis and wherein the poly(alkoxysilane) has from 2 to 6 alkoxysilane moieties on the substrate surface; and curing the coating. 8. The process of claim 7 wherein the device substrate is an electronic device substrate. 9.
