Methods of forming UV-absorbent transparent coatings and transparent substrates coated with the same allow for a relatively lower temperature cross-linkage reaction between a UV-absorbent compound and an epoxy-alkoxysilane. More specifically, UV-absorbent coatings on transparent substrates are formed by prepolymerizing a mixture consisting essentially of a benzophenone, an epoxy alkoxysilane and an organic catalyst at a temperature of between about 40° C. to about 130° C. and for a time sufficient such that between about 30% to about 70% of the epoxy alkoxysilane has been converted to a ring-opened oligomer or polymer. Such prepolymerized mixture may then be hydrolyzed and coated onto the surface of a transparent substrate, and thereafter cured at a temperature of less than about 200° C. for a time sufficient to cross-link the hydrolyzed alkoxysilane with itself and the glass surface. Most preferably, the prepolymerized mixture is hydrolyzed prior to being coated onto the substrate in an acidic alcoholic solution. Preferred for use in the present invention as a UV-absorbent compound is tetrahydroxybenzophenone. The preferred epoxy alkoxysilane is 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane. It is especially preferred that prepolymerization be effected in the presence of an organic catalyst, such as triethylamine (TEA).
