This review presents the state of the art regarding the improvement of scratch resistance of polymeric coatings. In particular, our attention is focused on the effect of inorganic nanometric fillers on the scratch resistance of organic coatings. Two main strategies are described for the achievement of such nanostructured hybrid organic/inorganic coatings: either a top‐down or a bottom‐up approach.
