ABSTRACT:
A magnesium fluoride surface having a thin film of amphiphilic molecules bonded thereto by way of a primer film of a metal oxide having a surface that hydrolyzes on exposure to airborne moisture. The amphiphilic molecules are chemically bonded to hydroxy groups on the hydrolyzed surface of the metal oxide primer film.
