Abstract:Recent technological advances in solar absorber production may have created opportunities for new applications of these materials in buildings. A low-emissivity enhanced polymer-based absorber foil was developed and prototyped to demonstrate feasibility of the concept. This paper describes key development factors leading to a particular composition of the prototype and its testing, specifically spectroscopy measurements (both for shortwave and longwave regions) and environmental impact assessment of its produc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
