Abstract:Transparent nanocomposites constructed by adding ultrasmall inorganic nanoparticles into an organic polymer matrix have been a new paradigm for preparing functional films for various optical components. Herein, aiming to avoid the negative influences of the rainbow effect on polyester film optoelectronic devices, a transparent nanocomposite of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) and ZrO 2 nanoparticles is reported. The water-dispersible nanoparticles of ZrO 2 modified with citric acid (CA) are first synthesized, whi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
