Research abstract
This firm has, in ongoing work in collaboration with the Air Force, NASA and JPL, developed a unique Variable Emittance technology based on the electrochromism of unique Conducting Polymers. This comprises thin ( 0.53 in unsealed devices to fall to < 0.35 in sealed devices. The use of a just-discovered, truly solid, room temperature molten salt electrolyte compatible with our electrochromic system will permit the use of unsealed devices, allowing DE of 0.53. Intelligent design, with embedded sensors reading Emittance directly, and coatings reducing Solar Absorptance to < 0.2, are also planned.
