  • Highly reflective, durable titanium/tin oxide films
    Patent number: 6312831
    Abstract: The invention is a substrate having a surface coated with a singular metal oxide film wherein the metal consists essentially of titanium and tin and the film is made from a liquid mixture of a titanate, a tin compound, and an anhydrous organic liquid. The substrate may be glass and the film applied by pyrolytic decomposition of the liquid mixture in air. Preferably, the film has a refractive index of greater than 2.2 and no visible light absorption to give it an optimal neutral appearance.
