Abstract

The invention provides a coated product which is provided with a basal body coated with a silicon dioxide coating nano-particle layer. The thickness of the coating layer is uniform virtually, perpetually adhered on the basal body and provides the surface nature of dereflection and / or hydrophile for the basal body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to silica nanoparticle coatings, articles having nanoparticle silica coatings thereon, such as optical devices or graphic media, and methods for making such articles. Background technique [0002] A variety of applications require articles having a surface capable of spreading water and thus preventing the formation of water droplets on the surface of the article. For example, transparent plastics used in foggy or humid environments, such as greenhouse windows, should avoid the formation of water droplets that reflect light, which reduces light transmission. A water-spreading surface on these materials helps maintain their clarity and minimizes unwanted streak formation. [0003] Water spreading properties are also required for traffic signs using reflective film. Reflective film has the ability to return a large amount of incident light to the light source. Clinging raindrops and / or dew can impair light transmission in...
