Antireflective transparent zeolite hardcoat, method for fabricating the same

摘要

An antireflective transparent zeolite hardcoat and fabrication method thereof. The transparent zeolite hardcoat comprises a zeolite nanostructure made of zeolite nanocrystals vertically stacked into a porous structure on a substrate, wherein the porosity increases with structure height thereby providing a smooth refractive index transition. The hardcoat is deposited from a solution comprising the reaction products of a mixture via a two-stage thermal condensation process, wherein the mixture comprises a silica source, water and a zeolite structure directing agent.
