hermo-responsive material responds to solar
spectrum differently at the stimulus of heat which
makes it attractive in various applications including the
energy saving smart windows application. The most
studied inorganic thermochromic vanadium dioxide
(VO2) has the intrinsic problems of low luminous
transmission (Tlum) and low solar modulation (ΔTsol
the transmission difference between high and low
temperatures). Numerous efforts such as employing
dopings, nanoparticle-based composites, and nano-
porous structuring have been widely studied. Our group
have developed five new approaches to tackle this
veritable challenge, namely, biomimetic nanostructuring
including photonic structure and moth eye gridded
structures tunable plasmonic structures organic and
hybrid structures. In addition, an active control has also
been applied to thermochromic material to generate
a new electro-thermochromics materials. Some other
new emerging thermal responsive materials will be
discussed in this talk.
Biography
Y Long studied at Cambridge University, United Kingdom and currently
hold senior lecturer position in School of Materials Science in Nanyang
Technological University, Singapore. Her research area is to develop
different nanostructured functional thin films. She has successfully
implemented two technology transfer from lab to industry for Hard
Disk Company Seagate Technology. Her more recent work is developing
functional smart coatings. She has published widely in high impaction
journals such as Joule, Advanced EnergyMaterials, Advanced Functional
Materials, ACS Nano, Journal of Materials Chemistry A and Small, etc.
and her work has been widely reported in different media and her work
has won TechConnect Innovation Award, Washington in 2015.
