ORGANIC MOLECULAR MATERIALS REFLECTING IN THE VISIBLE - NEAR INFRARED SPECTRAL RANGE

ORGANIC MOLECULAR MATERIALS REFLECTING IN THE VISIBLE - NEAR INFRARED SPECTRAL RANGE

 

This technology is based on the design of molecular, organic pigments, able to self-organize into non-conducting materials with reflective properties in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. These excitonic organic mirror materials can be exploited for either aesthetic or technical applications. They constitute a green and sustainable alternative to conventional metal-based mirror materials.

 

Applications

  • Glass or metal decoration with lustrous coatings (prestige or masstige products)
  • Window glass decoration with dichroic / duochrome aspect
  • Plastics decoration with lustrous coatings (LED lamp reflectors, automotive headlight reflectors, automotive accessories, sanitary, …)
  • Manufacture of lightweight and cheap mirrors (conversion of solar and photoelectric solar energy)
  • Manufacture of very large mirrors (telescopes, LIDAR, …)
  • Manufacture of tiny layers for photonic circuits

 

Competitive advantages

  • Green alternative solution
  • No metal / no electronic conductivity / lightweight
  • Low production cost
  • Ease of implementation on several substrates
  • Compatibility with existing industrial coating processes
  • Tunability of optical characteristics

 

Intellectual property

Family of three patents: - EP16306849.7 - EP18305893.2 - EP18305891.6
