Iran-Made Antireflective Nanocoating Capable of Improving Quality of Eyeglasses, Mirrors
Nanocoating is ultra-thin layers or chemical structures that are built upon surfaces by a variety of methods. Typically, nanocoating is used to impart a particular chemical or physical function to a surface.
They are playing a key role in minimizing the light reflection on the surface of devices such as displays, sensors, photodetectors, and solar cells.
This nanocoating prevents the reflection of visible light by being placed on different surfaces.
The nanocoating on the surface of the mirror prevents light scattering due to the thickness being less than the wavelength of visible light.
The thickness of the coating in this product is less than 100 nanometers and its use has reduced the light reflection by 50 percent.
Optical mirrors are designed to reflect light in various applications such as light beam guidance, interferometry, imaging, as well as common general applications.
These mirrors are widely used in different industries, especially the automobile industry.
In conventional mirrors, unwanted light scattering has negative effects on the efficiency and effectiveness of the product in a way that reduces visibility.
Nanocoating technology improves the performance of such mirrors so that covering the mirror surface with nano-layers minimizes unwanted light scattering and improves the quality.
The coating is not done on the back of the mirror but is done on the surface, because nanocoating on the back of the mirror causes double vision for the driver and increases the probability of an accident.
On November 28, 2022, Iran declared “National Document for the Development of Nano Science and Technology.”
General goals are improving the country’s status in science and nanotechnology, upgrading existing industries with nanotechnology, and promoting nanotechnology products in regional and global markets.
The document has envisaged that Iran will be among the top 15 nanotechnology countries in the world.
