A composite material includes a combination including a thermoplastic resin mixed with a polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PPgMA), and a plurality of carbon particles mixed in the combination. The plurality of carbon particles may include a first region having a relatively low concentration of carbon particles, and a second region having a relatively high concentration of carbon particles, at least some of the plurality of carbon particles having exposed carbon surfaces with carbon atoms bonded to molecular sites on adjacent PPgMA molecules and oxidized with one or more oxygen-containing groups. In some aspects, composite material further includes between 80 wt. % and 90 wt. % of the thermoplastic resin, between 0.5 wt. % and 15 wt. % of the PPgMA, and between 0.1 wt. % to 7 wt. % of carbon particles. The composite material may also include a plurality of pores, formed in the combination, and configured to be infiltrated by the PPgMA.

The invention relates to a light-diffusing material, having a high transmission of UVA light, useful for horticultural lighting. The light-diffusing material has a hiding power of greater than 50% at 350 nm and a transmission of light at 350 nm of at least 30 percent, and preferably at least 50%. Additionally the light-diffusing material also transmits and diffuses at least 50% of light at 300 nm, 465 nm, and at 800 nm. The light-diffusing material is especially useful as a glazing for horticultural use.
