Electrical Properties Of Conductive Transparent Thin Film Coatings On Flexible Substrates

The electrical properties of various sputter-deposited transparent solar control films on PET substrates are amenable to design for different applications. Constructions, geometries and performance characteristics of electrically heated conductive foil laminates for de-icing and de-fogging are presented, notably for localised heating at 14V. Electrically heated conductive foil laminates are computer modelled in two dimensions and verified with IR imaging of full-scale windscreens and sidelight prototypes. Radio frequency properties of laminated glass incorporating these foils for coatings with various sheet resistances are presented.
