Ultra-large and Multi-stimuli-responsive Smart Windows

Prof. Il-Doo Kim, Prof. Hong Jung-Wuk, and Prof. Seokwoo Jeon jointly developed a novel multi-stimuli-responsive (thermochromic and mechanochromic) membrane based on light scattering at strain-induced nanogaps from oxides and elastomers together with thermochromic dyes. The combination of the polymer writing technique with roll-to-roll production effectively expanded the production area of the smart window membrane to an exceptionally large scale of nearly 300 cm², far beyond those of previously reported optical modulating membranes to date....read more
