Abstract
A reflector that includes a substrate and a film disposed onto the substrate is provided. The film may include gas barrier layers configured to protect a reflective layer included in the film by blocking gas molecules from the top of the reflective layer and gas molecules originating from the bottom of the reflective layer.
Claims20
A reflector, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a multilayer film disposed onto the substrate;
- wherein the multilayer film includes (i) gas barrier layers configured to protect a reflective layer included in the film by blocking gas molecules originating from the top of the reflective layer and gas molecules originating from the bottom of the reflective layer;
- and (ii) a top layer configured to protect the reflective layer against mechanical tearing.
1 more element
A reflector, comprising:
- a substrate having an interior surface;
- a reflective surface supported by the substrate;
- a levelling layer intermediate the interior surface and the reflective surface, the levelling layer comprising a porcelain enamel;
- a gas barrier layer disposed on top of the reflective surface;
- and
- a protective layer disposed on top of the gas barrier layer.
3 more elements
A method of fabricating a reflector, comprising:
- forming a substrate;
- and
- disposing a film onto the substrate, the film comprising a levelling layer in contact with the substrate, and the film comprising a reflective layer;
- wherein the film further comprises gas barrier layers configured to protect the reflective film from diffusive and reactive species and an anti-scratching layer configured to protect the reflective layer from mechanical tearing.
