Investigation of recycled materials for radiative cooling under tropical climate
Nanophotonics, 2023 Abstract As a sustainable alternative to using virgin polymer, we propose the use of recycled polymer for the fabrication of passive radiative cooling materials to tackle both the increasing demand for cooling systems and to upcycle plastic waste. Using recycled acrylic sheets as the binder for BaSO
