THE EFFECT OF OPENING DISTRIBUTION AREA MODIFICATION ON HORIZONTAL LIGHT PIPE DAYLIGHT PERFORMANCE

Dimensi: Journal of Architecture and Built Environment, 2021
A deep-plan office building design limits daylight access on the workspace distant from the side window. Horizontal Light Pipe (HLP) is one of the light transport systems that can deliver daylight to these areas.

NanoMOF‐Based Multilevel Anti‐Counterfeiting by a Combination of Visible and Invisible Photoluminescence and Conductivity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents novel anti‐counterfeiting tags with multilevel security features that utilize additional disguise features. They combine luminescent nanosized Ln‐MOFs with conductive polymers to multifunctional mixed‐matrix membranes and powder composites. The materials exhibit visible/NIR emission and matrix‐based conductivity even as black bodies.
