In this study, UV-curable organic/inorganic hybrid composite coatings with near infrared (NIR) cutoff and antistatic properties were prepared by high-shear mixing of two kinds of polymer matrices and coated on plastic and glass substrates by the doctor-blade method. This study also investigated the morphology, stability, optical properties, electrical resistivity, and durability of the UV-cured composite coats. It was found that the composite coatings were very stable under centrifugation. Moreover, the films with transmittance of above 80% in a visible light region (400-800 nm) and of similar to 40% to 50% in the NIR region (1000-1600 nm) showed low haze of 6.9%, electrical resistivity of around 2.3 x 10(7) Omega/square. Thus, excellent adhesion, scratch, and weathering durability can be produced on polycarbonate substrate at room temperature. The experimental results reveal that UV-curable organic/inorganic hybrid composites can be used effectively to fabricate films with NIR cutoff as well as antistatic properties, indicating a high potential for practical application in architectural, automotives, and optoelectronics.
