A recent review article in Polymers explored recent advancements in thermochromic polymer nanocomposites, focusing on their properties, applications in heat detection systems, and the challenges ...

Thermochromic pigments change colour at specific ... Again, this type of smart material could be used in sporting equipment and car bodies, as well as certain medical applications, such as ...

“But depending on the PV technology you use, the wavelengths would need to be synchronized, so that the thermochromic material doesn’t block wavelengths that are used by the PV to harvest energ ...

is engaged in applying supramolecular chemistry to develop smart materials. They have developed a supramolecular nanocomposite hydrogel film that can be used for thermochromic smart windows.

Air conditioning and heating can be turned off more often Brightlands Material Center, part of TNO, is currently working on the SunSmart smart window, which has a special coating. This thermochromic ...

Our aim is to understand the role of structure and dynamics in determination of thermal properties of materials. Direct applications include phase change materials for energy storage, thermoelectric ...

So if you’re looking to keep your fingerprints unmodified, but you don’t want to invest in a thermal camera, you might want to let this thermochromic breadboard point the way to overloaded ...

A partially evacuated, sealed glass tube containing copper (I) tetraiodomercurate (II) is immersed in a beaker of boiling water. The compound changes from a bright red to dark brown at 80oC. When ...
