Research abstract
Durable and aesthetically acceptable cool roof materials are critically necessary for the success of energy saving program. Currently used organic pigments in cool roof paints are too sensitive to UV light to endure long time exposure to strong sunlight. Elongation of the lifetime of organic pigments without sacrifice the pigment color will significantly accelerate the cool roof program in US. Self assembled TiO2 nanocrystal layer will be formed automatically on top of cool roof organic pigment as UV protective layer. Highly crystalline TiO2 is very UV absorptive, which is widely being used as
