Abstract
A coated article includes a substrate and a coating applied over at least a portion of the substrate. The coating includes at least one metallic layer formed from one or more silver compounds doped with at least one metal selected from Groups 3 to 15 of the periodic table of the elements. Also disclosed are capsules that can absorb electromagnetic energy as well as a process of forming an antimony-doped tin oxide coating layer.
Claims20
A coated article comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a coating applied over at least a portion of the substrate, the coating comprising:
- a first dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the substrate;
- a first metallic layer formed over at least a portion of the first dielectric layer;
- a second dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the first metallic layer;
- a second metallic layer formed over at least a portion of the second dielectric layer;
- and
- a third dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the second metallic layer,
- wherein at least one of the metallic layers is formed from a material comprising one or more silver compounds doped with at least one metal selected from Groups 3 to 15 of the periodic table of the elements.
A coated article comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a coating applied over at least a portion of the substrate, the coating comprising:
- a first dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the substrate;
- a first metallic layer formed over at least a portion of the first dielectric layer;
- a second dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the first metallic layer;
- a second metallic layer formed over at least a portion of the second dielectric layer;
- a third dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the second metallic layer;
- and
- an overcoat formed over at least a portion of the third dielectric layer,
- wherein at least one of the dielectric layers and/or the overcoat comprises a capsule comprising a first silicon nitride film, a metal layer formed over at least a portion of the first silicon nitride film, and a second silicon nitride film formed over at least a portion of the metal layer.
A process of forming an antimony-doped tin oxide coating layer over a substrate comprising:
- (i) applying antimony-doped tin oxide to a substrate in a gaseous atmosphere comprising oxygen and a noble gas using a MSVD coater, wherein the gaseous atmosphere comprises at least 15% oxygen;
- and
- (ii) heating the coated substrate above a softening point of the substrate.
