A Transparent Semicrystalline Polymer Used in Thermally Responsive Smart Window Application

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A thermally responsive smart window is fabricated based on a transparent semicrystalline polymer via copolymerizing stearyl acrylate and ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate. The high transparency is achieved by restricting the crystal domain to nanometer size via ultraviolet curing at a high temperature.
