In complete contrast to more conventional conductive inks, this means that the uncured particle-free ink is often transparent.

Key Points: 
  • In complete contrast to more conventional conductive inks, this means that the uncured particle-free ink is often transparent.
  • Unlike flake-based stretchable inks, their low viscosity and lack of particles enables particle-free inks to permeate textile fibers.
  • Viscosity, and indeed rheology in general, are crucial in determining the compatibility of conductive inks with each printing method.
  • Furthermore, particle-free inks can also be used for applications currently dominated by flake or nanoparticle-based conductive inks.

The technology, termed thermochromic photovoltaic, allows the window to change color to block glare and reduce unwanted solar heating when the glass gets warm on a hot, sunny day.

Key Points: 
  • The technology, termed thermochromic photovoltaic, allows the window to change color to block glare and reduce unwanted solar heating when the glass gets warm on a hot, sunny day.
  • The research builds upon earlier work at NREL into a thermochromic window that darkened as the sun heated its surface.
  • His co-authors from NREL are Lance Wheeler, who developed the first thermochromic photovoltaic window, Taylor Allen, David Moore, Kevin Prince, Garry Rumbles, and Laura Schelhas.
  • The time was reduced to about seven seconds from the three minutes it took during the proof-of-concept thermochromic photovoltaic window demonstrated in 2017.
