Patent number: 11414924Abstract: In certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to low emissivity films and articles comprising them. Other embodiments are directed to methods of reducing emissivity in an article comprising the use of low emissivity films. In some embodiments, the low emissivity films comprise a metal layer and a pair of layers, one comprising a metal oxide such as zinc tin oxide and the other layer comprising a silicon compound, adjacent each of the two sides of the metal layer. This type of assembly may serve various purposes, including being used as a sun control film. These constructions may be used, for example, as window films on glazing units for reducing transmission of infrared radiation across the film in both directions.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Raghunath Padiyath, Gregory F.
