New inorganic/organic hybrid coatings known as ceramers were prepared using an oxidizing alkyd. Three sol-gel precursors, titanium(IV)-i-propoxide (TIP), titanium diisopropoxide bis(acetylacetonate) (TIA), and zirconium(IV)-n-propoxide (ZRP) were evaluated as a function of weight percent. The goal of this study was to formulate ceramer coatings which could be cured on a commercially viable time schedule. Overall, coating properties were found to be dependent on the type and amount of sol-gel precursor. The sol-gel precursor was also found to interact with the drier used to cure the alkyd.
