Flexible photochromic Ag:TiO2 thin films fabricated by ink-jet and flexography printing processes
Résumé
The realization of a flexible Ag:TiO2 photochromic material using processes compatible with industrial scale production is demonstrated. A titanium precursor solution is printed on a plastic substrate. After incorporating silver, the coating shows a reversible photochromic behavior with a good contrast of color under laser exposures.
