1 3 alkane alkene n 0 3 and rsicl 3 r c 1 3 alkane alkene have been found to may be added in varying ratios to the binder tmos b mixture optical properties of the coatings are controlled using both solid and hollow sphere silica nanoparticles described below in other embodiments no nanoparticles are added to the mixture low temperature curable coatings according to the innovation form high transmittance and excellent abrasion resistance see fig8 10 when cured at for example 40 u00b0 c for 24 hours 50 u00b0 c for 8 hours 65 u00b0 c for 4 hours 150 u00b0 c for 1 hour this contrasts more typical curing regimes of curing temperatures ranging between 90 u00b0 c 700 u00b0 c for 10 minutes or less for the higher temperatures up to five hours for the lower temperatures such a treatment may yield a film thickness ranging between 50 250 nm other thermal treatment regimes as well as more exotic plasma and microwave methods are not excluded formulations for the low temperature ar coating solution compositions may comprise the following ranges it may be desired to incorporate added hollow silica nanoparticles to the precursor coating solution syntheses of hollow spherical silica nanoparticles are well known in the art many examples of silica hsnp can be found in both the patent and scientific literature fig1 and 2 are transmission electron micrographs showing typical examples of silica hsnps prepared and used in the inventive energy transmission enhancement coating.
