An optical device, including a first selective light modulator layer comprising infrared transparent particles; and at least one infrared reflective material chosen from an infrared reflective layer and a plurality of infrared reflective particles is disclosed. A method of making the optical device is also disclosed.

Optical device with at least one infrared reflective material

An article including a thin film interference pigment; and a coating including a selectively absorbing nanoparticle is disclosed. The article can exhibit increased chromaticity as compared to the thin film interference pigment alone. A method of making the article is also disclosed. The method comprises providing a thin film interference pigment and coating the thin film interference pigment with a selectively absorbing nanoparticle.

Thin film interference pigments with a coating of nanoparticles

An article including a thin film interference pigment; and a coating including a colored selectively absorbing nanoparticles is disclosed. The article can exhibit a change in hue, lightness, and/or chroma as compared to the thin film interference pigment alone. Methods of making the article are also disclosed.

A pigment including a pre-flake; and a coating of nanoparticles present on a surface of the pre-flake, wherein the nanoparticles can be present in the coating in an amount greater than about 40% by volume is disclosed. A method of making a pigment is also disclosed.
