Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to densified nanoimprint films and processes for making these densified nanoimprint films, as well as optical devices containing the densified nanoimprint films. In one or more embodiments, a densified nanoimprint film contains a base nanoimprint film and a metal oxide disposed on the base nanoimprint film and in between the nanoparticles. The base nanoimprint film contains nanoparticles, where the nanoparticles contain titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, niobium oxide, tantalum oxide, hafnium oxide, chromium oxide, indium tin oxide, silicon nitride, or any combination thereof. The metal oxide contains aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, niobium oxide, tantalum oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide, hafnium oxide, chromium oxide, scandium oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide, yttrium oxide, praseodymium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or any combination thereof.
