Successful incorporation of nanomaterials into optical display coatings relies on the core expertise of engineering finely tuned nanoparticles, dispersal in a variety of solvents and scaling these processes to commercial volumes.
As new tools and technologies are developed, surface scientists will continue to innovate and create new formulations to meet the needs of those new developments.
Greater awareness of phenomena that occur on a nanometric scale and subsequent testing (both in application and synthesis of polymers) have led to the development of new materials with better performance characteristics than the traditional ones, with full respect for the environment.
