Transparent and antiglare conducting coatings deposited by web chemical processes

摘要

In{sub}2O{sub}3:Sn (ITO) sols made of crystalline nanoparticles fully redispersable in an ethanol solution containing hydrolyzed organosilanes have been developed to obtain conducting transparent and antiglare coatings on plastic and glass substrates at low temperature by spin dip and spray coaling processes. The coatings are cured by UV irradiation and/or by a low temperature heat treatment (T < 130°C) in air or reducing atmosphere. The electrical optical textural and mechanical properties of the coatings are reported.
