Publication number: 20240270634Abstract: A material includes at least transparent substrate and has a functional coating or functional layer to act on solar radiation and/or infrared radiation. The material includes an absorbent element in the form of a layer, which in particular absorbs the solar radiation in the visible part of the spectrum and does so in a specific manner. The material has an absorption profile with at least a spike centered between 480 and 549 nm, and a second spike centered between 630 nm and 779 nm. The addition of a layer-form absorbent element exhibiting these two absorption spikes allows an improvement in thermal performance, particularly the selectivity, without having a great impact on the aesthetics of the glazing, so that in particular the transmission remains neutral.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Xavier CAILLET, Elsa Marie PERRIN, Estelle MARTIN, Maxence WILMET

Publication number: 20230194435Abstract: A computer implemented methods for estimating at least one quality function of a given layered coating on a transparent substrate allows to predict at least one non in-process measured quality function of a given layered coating on a transparent substrate from an in-process measured quality function which can be acquired on the coated substrate as deposited at any location, preferably at the end of a coating process. The method allows to get rid of in-process real-time continuous measurements of quality functions of the coated transparent substrate and real-time monitoring of coating process parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Yaƫl BRONSTEIN, Thierry KAUFFMANN, Xavier CAILLET, Elsa-Marie PERRIN, Julien BEUTIER
