New Material Combines Multiple Functions
新材料結合多種功能
Researchers at the Institute for Microstructure Technology (IMT) and the Light Technology Institute (LTI) at KIT have now developed a novel polymer-based metamaterial that combines various properties and could replace glass components in construction in the future.
卡爾斯魯厄理工學院微結構技術研究所 (IMT) 和光技術研究所 (LTI) 的研究人員現已開發出一種新型聚合物超材料,它結合了多種特性,可以在未來取代建筑中的玻璃組件。
Cooling, Light-Transmissive, and Glare-Free
散熱、透光、無眩光
In the lab and in experiments under open skies under real outdoor conditions, the researchers tested the material's properties and measured its light transmittance, light scattering, reflection properties, self-cleaning ability, and cooling performance using modern spectrophotometry. The results: The tests achieved cooling of 6 °C compared to the ambient temperature.
在實驗室和真實室外條件下的露天實驗中,研究人員測試了該材料的性能,并利用現代分光光度法測量了其透光率、光散射、反射性能、自清潔能力和冷卻性能。 結果:與環境溫度相比,測試實現了 6 °C 的冷卻。
