Abstract: S1.00277 : Self-Assembled Double-Quarter Antireflective Coatings using Silica and Titania Nanoparticles
Author:
Antireflective coatings have a wide range of applications, from eyeglass and
camera lenses, to solar panels and optoelectronic devices, to name just a
few. Our study examines several factors that affect the quality of
antireflective coatings created by the self-assembly of alternating layers
of SiO2 and/or TiO2 nanoparticles and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)
polycation on glass substrates. We use a factorial design to investigate the
effects of the molarity of the nanoparticle solution, the size of the
nanoparticles, the pH of the nanoparticle and polycation solutions, and the
number of nanoparticle-polycation bilayers on the optical properties of the
films. The first order effects of these factors, as well as their
interactions, on the reflectance, transmittance, and uniformity of the
coatings are reported.
