Funded Activity Summary

Optically-selective window coatings of precious metal nanoparticles. There is great opportunity for Australia to save energy and money through the development of glass which excludes heat. This project builds on UTS research into the use of gold and silver nanoparticles in spectrally-selective coatings for windows. It will develop novel, low-cost in situ deposition processes to lay down ultra-thin coatings of gold nano-rods and other shapes on glass, creating coatings that have a neutral colour in the visible wavelengths, but which block infra-red light. Coated glass of this type has major application in the building industry as well as export potential.
