Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT)-polymide (PI) and poly-xylene (PX) nano-composites, in the form of thin films, powder, and mats may be useful as layers in electronic circuits, windows, membranes, and coatings. The processes described chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes for coating the BNNTs with polymeric material, specifically PI and PX. The processes rely on surface adsorption of polymeric material onto BNNTs as to modify their surface properties or create a uniform dispersion of polymer around nanotubes. The resulting functionalized BNNTs have numerous valuable applications.

A method of fabricating the organic-inorganic hybrid coating layer includes: preparing a gel mixture including an organic precursor and colloidal silica particles; preparing a first mixed solution by heating the gel mixture; preparing a second mixed solution by adding quantum dots to the first mixed solution; and coating the second mixed solution on a substrate and irradiating light thereon to form a polymer matrix in which the organic precursor and the colloidal silica particles are crosslinked, and preparing a coating layer in which the quantum dots are dispersed in the polymer matrix, wherein the organic precursor may include at least one of dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate (DPPA) or dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (DPHA).

An anti-glare film is disclosed.

Parts made by additive manufacturing are often structural in nature, rather than having functional properties conveyed by a polymer or other component present therein. Printed parts having piezoelectric properties may be formed using compositions comprising a plurality of piezoelectric particles and a polymer material comprising at least one thermoplastic polymer and at least one thermally curable polymer precursor. At a sufficient temperature, the at least one thermally curable polymer precursor may undergo a reaction, optionally also undergoing a reaction with the piezoelectric particles, and form an at least partially cured printed part. The piezoelectric particles may be mixed with the polymer material and remain substantially non-agglomerated when combined with the polymer material. The compositions may define a form factor such as a composite filament, a composite pellet, or an extrudable composite paste, which may be utilized in forming printed part by extrusion, layer-by-layer deposition, and thermal curing.
