Abstract
The paper reviews recent developments in the deposition of transparent conducting In2O3:Sn (ITO) and SnO2:Sb (ATO) coatings of high optical quality using sol-gel as well as a nanotechnology approaches. The first method, originally developed to coat flat glass substrates, has been adapted to coat the inner side of long tubes and cavities by the dip coating process as well as to coat large glass bodies with complex shapes using a room temperature spraying technique. Redispersible conducting nanoparticles in alcoholic solutions allow to coat substrates which do not withstand a high temperature post-treatment like plastics or preformed glass components. The potentials and limits of these new approaches are reported and their extension to other functional coatings is discussed.
