In this study, UV‐curable organic/inorganic hybrid composite coatings with near infrared (NIR) cutoff and antistatic properties were prepared by high‐shear mixing of two kinds of polymer matrices and coated on plastic and glass substrates by the doctor‐blade method. This study also investigated the morphology, stability, optical properties, electrical resistivity, and durability of the UV‐cured composite coats. It was found that the composite coatings were very stable under centrifugation. Moreover, the films with transmittance of above 80% in a visible light region (400–800 nm) and of ∼ 40% to 50% in the NIR region (1000–1600 nm) showed low haze of 6.9%, electrical resistivity of around 2.3 × 107 Ω/square. Thus, excellent adhesion, scratch, and weathering durability can be produced on polycarbonate substrate at room temperature. The experimental results reveal that UV‐curable organic/inorganic hybrid composites can be used effectively to fabricate films with NIR cutoff as well as antistatic properties, indicating a high potential for practical application in architectural, automotives, and optoelectronics. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
