“…Within the framework of the ROSA (Roll-Out Solar Array) project, a flexible roll-up solar panel was tested on the International Space Station and it was shown that for a cell with a power of 15 kW, a weight reduction is up to 33% and usable space can be saved up to is 75%, in comparison with folded rigid panels of the same capacity [ 7 ]. To date, there are many approaches to the creation of flexible cover glasses based on polyamides [ 8 , 9 , 10 ], various polysiloxanes [ 11 , 12 , 13 ] and composites based on them [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

In this work, we studied the influence of the geometry and degree of filling of glass dispersed particles on the optical and mechanical properties of flexible high-transmission composites, based on thermoplastic polyurethane. Glass spheres, glass flake and milling glass fiber were used as fillers. Studies of mechanical properties have shown that the introduction of any filler leads to a decrease in tensile strength and an increase in the elastic modulus of the composite material, however, with the introduction of glass flakes and milling glass fiber, a significant increase in the yield strength of the material is observed. The optical properties of composites with glass spheres decrease exponentially with an increase in the volume fraction of the filler. With an increase in the concentration of glass flakes and milling glass fiber to 10 vol.%, a sharp decrease in transmission is observed. With a further increase in concentration, the orientation of the filler along the film occurs, due to which the transmission in the visible range increases to values close to those of a pure polymer.

“…Such advances were permitted with development of microfabrication, which enable one to realize fine features as small as a submicron length. Such sensors can play a crucial role in detailed examination of adverse flow condition, as in phase change application for instance, which can be achieved by its instantaneous measurement at multipoint resolution and its conformity to nonplanar surfaces [11][12][13][14]. Among the various works on resistive sensors, is the one done by Guereca [15] in the field of microelectromechanical systems, which was used in boiling application.…”

Point MeasurementsA conventional point measurement technique is the thermocouple, which operates on the basis of Seebeck effect. In principle, two dissimilar metals are connected at a junction, which generates a small voltage with respect to a given temperature. Such technique was used to acquire average heat flux measurement over a surface of interest [6]. In parallel to this technique, Truong [7] considered using a heat fluxmeter, so as to evaluate the heat

“…3b. 41 Although the mechanical strength and thermal stability of polymers are not comparable with that of metal foils, high efficiency devices have also been realized. 32,42,43 Fuji Electric developed a-Si:H/a-SiGe:H based tandem solar cells on plastic substrate and achieved a stabilized efficiency of 9% in a 40 cm Â 80 cm cell.…”
