Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured poly(methyl methacrylate) for antireflection coating

- Antireflection coating with high transmittance (over 99%) is synthesized.
- The refractive index of the coating prepared can be tailored by operation conditions.
- Transmittance in the short wavelength always poor in other studies is improved.
- The effect of surface microscopic roughness of coating on transmittance is revealed.
- A model is developed describing the effect of surface roughness on transmittance loss.
