USE OF SILICON-CONTAINING PARTICLES FOR PROTECTION OF INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS FROM UV RADIATION

摘要

Silicon-containing particles are used for protection of industrial materials, such as electrooptical layers or electrooptical components, from electromagnetic radiation in the UV range and optionally in the visible as far as the IR range, wherein the particles take the form of primary particles having a particle size in the range from 1 to 100 nm and may optionally take the form of clusters of the primary particles. A particular advantage is the possibility of matching the absorption of the electromagnetic radiation to the wavelength region to be absorbed that is of interest in a defined manner via the particle size and the particle size distribution. The silicon-containing particles can be used as biocompatible and biodegradable UV protection in industrial applications and compositions for industrial applications as formulations, such as preferably in coating compositions, such as paint.
