20090208644 | Organosiloxane inclusive precursors having ring and/or cage-like structures for use in combustion deposition - Certain example embodiments relate to a method of forming a coating on a glass substrate using combustion deposition. A glass substrate having at least one surface to be coated is provided. An organosiloxane inclusive precursor having a ring- or cage-like structure to be combusted is introduced. Using at least one flame, at least a portion of the precursor is combusted to form a combusted material, the combusted material including non-vaporized material. The glass substrate is provided in an area so that the glass substrate is heated sufficiently to allow the combusted material to form the coating, directly or indirectly, on the glass substrate. In certain example embodiments, the precursor is a cyclic siloxane based and/or polyhedral silsesquioxane (POSS) based precursor, which advantageously may affect the coating's transmission and/or reflection properties compared to conventionally used silicon precursors. For example, a single-layer anti-reflective coating including silicon oxide may increase visible transmission of the uncoated substrate by at least about 2.0%. | 08-20-2009 |
20100227052 | METHODS FOR PROCESSING SUBSTRATES HAVING AN ANTIMICROBIAL COATING - Methods for processing substrate surfaces carrying coatings comprising a metal are disclosed. The methods involve providing a substrate surface having a coating comprising a metal, and exposing the substrate surface to a halogen-containing gas. | 09-09-2010 |
20110159177 | Coated Translucent Substrate For A Greenhouse And A Freezer Door - An coated translucent substrate that comprises a translucent substrate, an anti-reflection coating and a conductive oxide coating and a process for manufacturing the same is provided. The translucent substrate has a first surface at a first side. The anti-reflection coating is provided at the first side of the translucent substrate to reduce the reflection of light by the coated translucent substrate. The anti-reflection coating is applied to the conductive oxide coating. The conductive oxide coating is arranged between the first surface of the translucent substrate and the anti-reflection coating to reduce the transmission of light in the near infrared spectrum through the coated translucent substrate. The conductive oxide coating comprises SnO | 06-30-2011 |
20130095237 | SOL-GEL BASED ANTIREFLECTIVE COATINGS USING ALKYLTRIALKOXYSILANE BINDERS HAVING LOW REFRACTIVE INDEX AND HIGH DURABILITY - Methods and compositions for forming porous low refractive index coatings on substrates are provided. The method comprises coating a substrate with a sol-formulation comprising silica based nanoparticles and an alkyltrialkoxysilane based binder. Use of the alkyltrialkoxysilane based binder results in a porous low refractive index coating having bimodal pore distribution including mesopores formed from particle packing and micropores formed from the burning off of organics including the alkyl chain covalently bonded to the silicon. The mass ratio of binder to particles may vary from 0.1 to 20. Porous coatings formed according to the embodiments described herein demonstrate good optical properties (e.g. a low refractive index) while maintaining good mechanical durability due to the presence of a high amount of binder and a close pore structure. | 04-18-2013 |
20130136856 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL EFFECT PRINTING METHOD - A three-dimensional effect printing method includes steps of providing a housing including a transparent substrate; printing an uneven transparent texture layer to form a textured pattern on an inner surface of the transparent substrate opposite to an outer surface facing a viewer; drying the transparent texture layer; printing a colored texture layer on the transparent texture layer; and drying the colored texture layer. | 05-30-2013 |
20140272125 | ANTI-REFLECTION GLASS MADE FROM AGED SOL INCLUDING MIXTURE OF TRI-ALKOXYSILANE AND TETRA-ALKOXYSILANE - A method of making a coated article including an anti-reflection coating on a glass substrate, the method comprising: mixing at least a tri-alkoxysilane based binder and a tetra-alkoxysilane based binder with at least silica based nanoparticles and a solvent in forming a coating sol formulation; aging the coating sol formulation at least about two weeks so as to provide an aged coating sol formulation; coating at least a portion of said aged coating sol formulation onto the glass substrate to form a coating; and heating said glass substrate and said coating. Anti-reflection (AR) glasses show improved mechanical strength and higher transmittances (e.g., Tqe % gain). | 09-18-2014 |
20150306629 | METHOD OF MAKING POLYESTER FILM WITH A REDUCED IRIDESCENT PRIMER LAYER - This invention relates to a highly optically clear, composite film having a predominantly thermoplastic polyester base layer and a primer layer of a polyester and polyurethane blend composition. The base layer preferably has an A/B/C layered structure with a substantially particle-free core layer B of polyester and outer layers A and C of polyester containing nonpolyester, organic and/or inorganic particles. The primer layer is preferably applied to the base layer from solution that is organic solvent-free and is crosslinked using a carbodiimide crosslinking agent. The primer layer and base layer composite can be laminated with a protective layer of primarily acrylic polymer for a solar control film. Various layers of the composite and solar control films can contain effective amounts of functional additives, such as UV light blockers. Polyurethane in the primer, especially in combination with crosslinking by the carbodiimide, provides the acrylic coated polyester base solar control film with notably reduced iridescence and durable adhesion between polyester and acrylic layers in moist and warm service conditions. | 10-29-2015 |
