Abstract
A coating including an ordered spatial distribution of a plurality of nanoparticles; and a polymer medium is disclosed. Also disclosed is an article, such as an optical device, can include the coating, on a substrate. A multilayer structure can include the coating with a high refractive index layer adjacent to the coating. A method of making the coating, the article, and the multilayer structures is disclosed.
Claims21
A coating comprising:
- an ordered spatial distribution of a plurality of nanoparticles;
- and
- a polymer medium.
(canceled)
A method of making a coating having an ordered spatial distribution of nanoparticles, comprising:
- dispersing a plurality of nanoparticles in a polymer medium;
- applying a field to the polymer medium, wherein the field is chosen from an electromagnetic, an electric, a magnetic, a gravitational, and combinations thereof;
- and
- ordering the plurality of nanoparticles in a spatial distribution within the polymer medium parallel to the electric field.
