Abstract

The paper reviews a low temperature sol-gel processing of transparent and antiglare conducting Sn doped indium oxide (ITO) coatings. The approach uses already crystalline nanoparticles which can be fully redispersed in an ethanolic sol containing a polymerisable organic binder. Thick single layers up to 600 nm can be deposited by spin and dip coating techniques followed either by a low temperature ( 8 lines/nm) were obtained by a conventional spraying technique. These techniques have been successfully applied to several plastic substrates such as polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA), polyimide, polyethylene (PE) as well as glasses.
