Benefits of technology

This technology allows create cellsufficiently strong materials that have both high optical transmittance (T) values and reversible color changes between light absorption states when exposed to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation such as sunlight or heated objects. These properties allow these films to be used effectively at night without being affected by external factors like temperatures.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving thermal insulating properties in windows made with poly(p)-meta-(mila-)accharides/hydroxypropanecarbonammoniums). These polymers absorb infrared rays while also reflecting visible lights, leading to increased temperatures inside rooms compared to traditional windows without these features. Additionally, current methods involve adding chemical agents to reduce solar absorption but may result in decreased efficiency over time.
