TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The nanostructure film is embedded in an adhesive. The nanostructure film further comprises a dopant, and application- specific additive. The dopant is chosen from iodine, bromine, polymer-supported bromine, antimony pentafluoride, phosphorus pentachloride, vanadium oxytrifluoride, silver (II) fluoride, 2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-5-carboxylic acid, 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 2,5-bis-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 4-chloro-7-chlorosulfonyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole, 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol, 5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol, 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol, 5-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol, methyl viologen dichloride hydrate, fullerene-C60, N-methyl fulleropyrrolidine, N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenyl benzidine, triethylamine, triethanol anime-hydroxide, trioctylamine, triphenyl phosphine, trioctyl phosphine, triethyl phosphine, trinaphthyl phosphine, tetradimethyl amino ethene, tris(diethylamino)phosphine, pentacene, tetracene, N,N'-di-((1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine sublimed grade, 4-(diphenylamino)benzaldehyde, di-p-tolylamine, 3-methyl diphenyl amine, triphenylamine, tris(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)amine, tri-p-tolylamine, acradine orange base, 3,8-diamino-6-phenyl phenanthridine, 4-(diphenylamino)benzaldehyde diphenylhydrazone, poly(9-vinylcarbazole), poly(9 -vinylnaphthalene), triphenyl phosphine, 4-(carboxybutyl)triphenyl phosphonium bromide, tetrabutyl ammonium benzoate, tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide 30-hydrate, tetrabutyl ammonium triiodide, tetrabutyl ammonium bis-trifluoromethane sulfonimidate, tetraethyl ammonium trifluoromethane sulfonate, oleum, triflic acid and magic acid. The dopant is bonded to the film in conjunction with a stabilizer. The dopant and stabilizer are Lewis base or Lewis acid. The stabilizer is a molecule chosen from poly(4-vinylpyridine) and tri-phenyl amine. Preferred Polymer: The encapsulation layer is a polymer chosen from fluoropolymer, acrylic, silane, polyimide, polyester and polyvinyl alkyl vinyl ether. The application specific additive is infrared absorber or UV absorber. Preferred Substrate: The substrate is glass, elastomer or plastic. Preferred Elastomer: The elastomer is saturated rubber, unsaturated rubber, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), thermoplastic volcanizate (TPV), polyurethane rubber, polysulfide rubber, resilin or elastin. Preferred Plastic: The plastic is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyolefin, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polycarbonate (PC) or polyethersulfone (PES).
