Single and multilayer (SiO2, TiO2, SiO2–TiO2, TiO2/SiO2–TiO2/SiO2) films were deposited on polymer substrate poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) at room temperature by sol–gel method. Optical micrographs show that spin-coated nanoparticle thin films have homogeneous surface with good adhesion with PMMA...
