Multilayered optical filters have been formed using layer-by-layer self-assembly processes. Unlike conventional vapor deposition coating techniques, molecular-level self-assembly is an aqueous solution-based process that is performed at room temperature and pressure. This allows the incorporation of a wider range of possible materials, including polymers, oxide and other nanoclusters, and other molecules. We review the general filter deposition method and give generalized results for nominal substrate materials.
RTI shares its evidence-based research - through peer-reviewed publications and media - to ensure that it is accessible for others to build on, in line with our mission and scientific standards.
