• Present invention describes a method of preparing a coating material which is the mixed metal oxides of Titanium & Silicon prepared at 300K (Room temperature).
• The solution can be used for anti-tarnish and protective coatings on metal surfaces.

• The basic method comprising the following step as illustrated in the smart chart:

Basic Process Flow Diagram:

• The titania-silica based coating material can be prepared at room temperature and can be deposited on any complex shapes and has anti-reflection and mechanical abrasion resistance coating on optical materials.
• Said titania-silica based coating material can be used as protective coating layer for silver metal & silver alloys.
• Furthermore, the claimed invention deals with any wavelength of the anti-reflection application & the refractive index of the present invention is a key outcome which is depicted in Fig. 1.
• The titania-silica based coating can be used as anti-reflection and mechanical abrasion resistance coatings on optic lenses including plastic lenses.
• The protective coatings are deposited by dip coating technique of desired thickness.
• Table 1 provides the summary of adhesion & hardness results for TiO2, SiO2, & TiO2+SiO2 thin films on glass as 2 and 4 layers.
