Developed a new type of smart glass is a flexible and cheap Bashny.Net

Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin found an effective and inexpensive solution to control level of zatonirovany glass. They have created a new material that can be used for car windshield or inserted into the Windows of the apartment.





Associate Professor Delia Milliron and her team of chemical engineers has developed a new flexible material for smart glasses. It can darken and become lighter, cool and heat, also has a lower cost.





Developers oppose his invention of the liquid crystal panel or an electrochromic windscreens. The principle they work the same, but the new glass is non-crystalline solid product consisting of chemically condensed niobium oxide. It has a less dense structure than similar materials, making it much more flexible. In addition, the new material has two times lower energy consumption.





Unlike traditional coatings, which napyljajut on the surface of glass, this material can be coated and plastic, which will significantly reduce costs. Glass of it can be used to create smart tinted Windows or high-tech sunglasses. Milliron believes that in the future this technology can be used to develop more efficient supercapacitors. published
