Popis: Ultraviolet ray (UV) absorbing coating consisting of a complex oxide of cerium and titanium was deposited on glass via the sol-gel process. Addition of TiO 2 to CeO 2 changed the crystallinity and coordination state of CeO 2 and improved UV absorption. Formation of a double-layered coating comprised of outer CeO 2 -TiO 2 layer and inner TiO 2 -SiO 2 layer diminished the interference coloring and improved the adhesion of the coating to the glass substrate. The double layer coated glass shows high UV-shielding properties without visible light absorption and excellent durability against chemical and physical attacks. Therefore, it has been widely used in automobile windows.
