Original Abstract Submitted

Coated articles are described herein that include a first layer. The first layer may comprise a planarization layer and/or a hydroxyl-modified layer. The planarization layer includes a silica or a partial silica-like having Si—O—Si—O bonds. The coated article further includes a surface-modifying layer disposed on a first surface area of the first layer. In aspects, the first layer has a molar ratio of hydrogen to silicon of about 0.2 or more. Methods of forming coated articles can include evaporating a functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and impinging an ion beam thereon to from a planarization layer. Methods for forming coated articles can include impinging a plasma at a first major surface of a substrate to form a hydroxyl-modified layer.
