Dp. Gundlach et Ka. Burdett, LOWER CRITICAL SOLUTION TEMPERATURE (LCST) POLYMER-SOLUTION FOR CLEARCLOUD GLAZING APPLICATIONS, Journal of applied polymer science, 51(4), 1994, pp. 731-737
An aqueous-based clear / cloud solution was developed using poly (viny
l methyl ether) and an antifreeze mixture of ethylene and propylene gl
ycols. The solution has a controllable cloud point from 15 to 90-degre
es-C, freeze protection to -46-degrees-C, and a density that prevents
the precipitated polymer from settling and is fairly stable to UV degr
adation. A significantly smaller heat gain is achieved through the cle
ar / cloud glazing when compared to a normal double-pane window. (C) 1
