Abstract
Golf ball comprising a layer formed from a vanadium dioxide nano-particle composition; wherein the vanadium dioxide nano-particle composition comprises a polymer composition and one of a plurality of vanadium dioxide composite nano-particles, a vanadium dioxide composite nano-particle slurry, or a mixture of a polymer emulsion and the vanadium dioxide composite nano-particle slurry. Non-limiting examples of suitable polymer compositions include latexes, lacquers, enamels, acrylics, an epoxies, polyesters, urethane acrylates, polyester acrylates, alkyds, thermoset polyurethane compositions, thermoplastic polyurethane compositions, and/or ionomer compositions. The vanadium dioxide composite nano-particle slurry may be formed from a plurality of vanadium dioxide composite nano-particles that are dispersed throughout a dispersion medium. The polymer emulsion may comprise an aqueous dispersion or an emulsion of polymer resin.
