Abstract
In certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to low emissivity films and articles comprising them. Other embodiments are directed to methods of reducing emissivity in an article comprising the use of low emissivity films. In some embodiments, the low emissivity films comprise a metal layer and one or more zirconium nitride layers adjacent the metal layer. This type of assembly may serve various purposes, including being used as a sun control film. These constructions may be used, for example, on glazing units for reducing transmission of infrared radiation across the film in both directions.
