    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a nanocomposite polymer dielectric that may incorporate two types of nanoparticles and a polymer. One of the two types of nanoparticle may be a first, smaller nanoparticle, that may occupy spaces between larger second nanoparticles. Another of the two types of nanoparticle may be the second, larger, “high-?” nanoparticle, which supports the overall dielectric constant of the material. In an applied electric field, the first, smaller nanoparticle may redistribute local charge to homogenize electric fields in the dielectric material, tending to avoid the development of “hot spots”. Such a two-nanoparticle nanocomposite dielectric material may provide increased dielectric breakdown strength and voltage endurance in comparison with a nanoparticle dielectric which only contains a single type of “high-?” nanoparticle.

  • Publication number: 20130177737
    Abstract: Substrates, surfaces, assemblies, kits, compositions, and methods are provided for forming touch screens and other appliance surfaces exhibiting good hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and abrasion resistance. Methods are provided for increasing a population density of hydroxyl groups on a touch surface of a touch screen substrate without affecting the compressive strength of the back surface. The treated touch surface of the substrate can then be coated with a coating that includes an organo-metalic and/or silane, for example, a fluorosilane such as a perfluoropolyether alkoxysilane. A substrate can retain its compressive resistance to breakage by impact applied to the touch surface while minimizing any decrease in compressive strength against impact against the touch surface. Examples of such substrates include touch screens for mobile and desktop electronic devices, components of 3D display devices, and components for electrowetting display devices.
