This material, however, suffers from a high correlated color temperature, and low color-rendering index due to its deficiency in the red spectrum. In this study, glass beads (GB) with an average particle diameter of 10 μm were introduced to the conversion layer of a YAG:Ce3+ particulate-filled polydimethylsiloxane matrix composite structure and found to improve the optical features of the resulting composite.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRemote phosphorSpray coatingWhite lightPDMSPhosphor conversionsArticle2-s2.0-8502507225910.1016/j.optmat.2017.07.03310.1016/j.optmat.2017.07.033
