Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions, comprising silver nanoplatelets, wherein the number mean diameter of the silver nanoplatelets, present in the composition, is in the range of 50 to 150 nm with standard deviation being less than 60% and the number mean thickness of the silver nanoplatelets, present in the composition, is in the range of 5 to 30 nm with standard deviation being less than 50%, wherein the mean aspect ratio of the silver nanoplatelets is higher than 2.0 and the highest wavelength absorption maximum of the population of all silver nanoplatelets in the composition being within the range of 560 to 800 nm. A coating, comprising the composition, shows a blue color in transmission and a metallic yellow color in reflection.
