TITANIUM DIOXIDE COATINGS HAVING BARRIER LAYERS AND METHODS OF FORMING TITANIUM DIOXIDE COATINGS HAVING BARRIER LAYERS

摘要

Methods for forming titanium dioxide coatings are disclosed. At least one barrier layer is formed on a substrate. Sol-gel compositions are prepared and coated on the at least one barrier layer, and heated at a temperature sufficient to form an anatase titanium dioxide coating. Titanium dioxide coatings having at least one of improved visible light transmission properties, reflective properties, and/or haze are also disclosed.
