The transport sector is the fastest growing contributor to climate emissions and experiences the highest growth in energy use. This study explores the use of TiO2 nanoparticles for obtaining photocatalytic nanocomposites with improved infrared reflectance properties. The nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing 0–20 wt% of TiO2 nanoparticles in an unsaturated polyester resin. The effect of TiO2 on the curing kinetics was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, showing a significant delay of the curing reactions. The thermal reflectance of the modified resins was characterized by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry, measuring total solar reflectance (TSR). The TiO2 greatly increased the TSR of the resin, due to the reflectance properties of the nanoparticles and the change in color of the modified resin. These nanocomposites reflect a significant part of near-infrared radiation, which can contribute to a reduction of the use of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Moreover, the photocatalytic effect of the TiO2 modified nanocomposites was studied by monitoring the degradation of an organic model contaminant in an aqueous medium under UV light, and the reusability of the nanocomposites was studied with 5 cycles. The developed nanocomposites are proposed as a solution for reducing global warming and pollutant emissions.

AbstractFor the construction of next-generation optical products and systems, the evolution of polariser sheets is a necessary requirement. To this end, a low-reflective wire-grid polariser (WGP) sheet for the visible light region is demonstrated, the nanowires of which consist of a sintered body of silver nanoparticle ink. The nanowires are formed by a nanoprinting process using a thermal nanoimprint method and ink filling. This process makes it easier to achieve multiple wafer-scale productions without using sophisticated equipment compared to conventional WGP nanofabrication techniques, which typically employ lithography and elaborate etching processes. The optical characteristics are controlled by the shape of the printed nanowires. A WGP sheet with a luminous degree of polarisation of 99.0%, a total luminous transmittance of 13.6%, and a luminous reflectance of 3.6% is produced. Its low reflectance is achieved through the uneven surface derived from the sintered body of the nanoparticle ink, and the shape of the bottom of the nanowire is derived from the tip shape of the mould structure. Furthermore, the printed WGP sheet has the durability required for the manufacturing of curved products, including sunglasses. The optical structures made of nanoparticle ink using this nanoprinting process have the potential to significantly contribute to the development of fine-structured optical elements with unprecedented functionality.

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles synthesized in an aqueous system was sintered at room temperature using NaCl solution. The Ag nanoparticles have an average diameter of about 24 nm. After dispersing the Ag nanoparticles in 50mM NaCl solution, a significant increase in particle size to about 206 nm was observed. On the other hand, the particle size was also increased to about 175 nm when the Ag nanoparticles were printed and then 50mM NaCl solution was dropped onto the printed Ag nanoparticles. The enlargement of particle size was accompanied by the increase in conductivity of the Ag nanoparticle ink. The resistance was reduced from 57.7 to 6.5 and 6.7 ohms for the as-prepared and sintered Ag nanoparticles using two different treatments, respectively. The sintered Ag nanoparticle ink formulation exhibit high conductivity when drawn on both cellulose acetate film and bond paper even after bending and folding of the substrates.

Fusing of silver (Ag) nanoparticles synthesized in an aqueous system was observed at room temperature using halide solutions. The as-synthesized Ag nanoparticles have an average diameter of about 24 nm. After dispersing the Ag nanoparticles in a halide solution, a significant increase in particle size to about 188-197 nm was observed. The enlargement of particle size was accompanied by the increase in conductivity of the Ag nanoparticle ink. The resistance was reduced from 110 kiloohms to 35 and 9.3 ohms for the as-prepared and sintered Ag nanoparticles using NaBr and NaCl solution, respectively.
