What Role Do Catalysts Play in Anti-Reflective Coatings?
Anti-reflective coatings are applied to lenses to reduce glare and improve vision clarity. These coatings are often created through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), a process that relies heavily on catalysts. Specifically, metal catalysts like titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) are used to achieve thin, uniform layers on the lens surface.
