Fabrication of photocatalytic heat-mirror with TiO2/TiN/TiO2 stacked layers

Optical Properties of (Oxy)Nitride Materials: A Review

“…However, they are sensitive to atmospheric humidity and can only be used in sealed window units. Metal‐like transition‐metal nitrides (mostly TiN and ZrN) are now considered as alternatives to noble metals based coatings, because they combine promising optical properties with excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical propeties …”

“…Metal-like transition-metal nitrides (mostly TiN and ZrN) are now considered as alternatives to noble metals based coatings, because they combine promising optical properties with excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical propeties. 41,68,[119][120][121][122] Andersson et al investigated the optical properties of ZrO 2 /ZrN and ZrO 2 /ZrN/ZrO 2 thin films prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering. 120 The optical performance of the films depended on both preparation conditions and the layer structure.…”

Preparation and Characterization of Whey Protein Film Incorporated with TiO2 Nanoparticles

“…When TiO 2 is incorporated into a polymer matrix such as packaging material, it will provide protection against foodborne microorganisms as well as odor, staining, deterioration, and allergens on the presence of radiation of relatively low wavelength near the ultraviolet region. Thin TiO2 films exhibit excellent mechanical and chemical durability in the visible and near‐infrared region (Tazawa and others 2004; Okada and others 2006). Incorporation of TiO 2 into synthetic plastic matrix to increase the biodegradability has been investigated (Kubacka and others 2007).…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Monomers and Copolyesters Containing Bispyrazole or Bisdihydroisoxazole with Studying the Effect of TiO2 Nanoparticles on their Electrical Conductivity

“…Nanocomposites are a modern category of materials that havehigh physical, thermal and mechanical properties compared withtraditional composites (micro composites) (Balazs et al, 2006;Hamming et al, 2009) and polymers nanocomposite is a polymer that has been reinforced with a little quantity (<5% wt.) of nanosized particles (Levitsky et al, 2009), the heterogeneous-conducting polymer nanocomposites principally for organic-inorganic nanocomposite have an interest of scientists in the last decade (Su and Kuramoto, 2000) owing to their enhanced properties arising from the reinforcement of nanofiller, so, nanoscale reinforcement materials using to improve the electrical and optical properties of the polymers (Bora et al, 2013;Potts et al, 2011) such as thin films of nanocrystalline TiO 2 have significant applications in the field of optoelectronic materials (Potts et al, 2011) also considered photocatalytic material (Fleming et al, 2005;Arango et al, 1999) can be used to form thin films in dye-sensitized solar cells and anti-reflection coatings (Okada et al, 2006). Although, there are many reports on the heterogeneous-conducting polymer nanocomposites but one special interest is the incorporation of inorganic nanoclusters with conducting polymers because the resulting nanocomposites may possess unique electrical and optical properties (Su and Kuramoto, 2000;Yavuz and Gok, 2007).…”
