GLAZING AND FILM FUNCTIONAL COATINGS HAVING A POROUS INORGANIC LAYER AND A POLYMERIC FILLER

摘要

Now, according to the present invention, functional coatings are provided that comprise both a porous inorganic layer and a polymeric filler. The porous inorganic layer comprises an inorganic material that can be formed into a layer at relatively low heat load. The polymeric filler fills the porosities in the porous inorganic layer, and can be, for example, wet coated onto the porous inorganic layer. The resulting functional coatings offer simpler and cheaper fabrication along with improved physical and optical performance.
