Optically transparent films can comprise a coating of nanodiamonds to introduce desirable properties, such as hardness, good thermal conductivity and an increased dielectric constant. In general, transparent conductive films can be formed with desirable property enhancing nanoparticles included in a transparent conductive layer and/or in a coating layer. Property enhancing nanoparticles can be formed from materials having a large hardness parameter, a large thermal conductivity and/or a large dielectric constant. Suitable polymers are incorporated as a binder in the layers with the property enhancing nanoparticles. The coatings with property enhancing nanoparticles can be solution coated and corresponding solutions are described. |
