Controlling the optical properties of nanostructured oxide-based polymer films

Abstract A bulk scale process is implemented for the production of nanostructured film composites comprising unary or multi-component metal oxide nanoparticles dispersed in a suitable polymer matrix. The as-received nanoparticles, namely Al $$_2$$ 2 O $$_3$$ 3 , SiO $$_2$$ 2 and TiO $$_2$$ 2 and bin...
