Waste oil change "aware" smart coating temperature.

<P> At the recent American Chemical Society, scientists announced the successful production of a can "feel" the temperature of the smart coatings. .Apply the material on the roof, not only reflected in the hot summer sun, reducing high tariffs, and when cold air hit, but also to change its role, the solar energy transport to the house, keep the indoor temperature. .</ P> <P> save electricity, according to physorg Web site reported that this smart paint from the waste cooking oil in fast food restaurant, when the outdoor temperature exceeds a preset value, the material can absorb solar energy in the reflection and automatically between .switch. .</ P> <P> American Environmental Energy Co., Ltd. Vice President, smart materials research project leader Benjamin Wen said: "The great practical value of the coating material. Compared with the traditional roof, the roof can be intelligent creatures .to judge the external environment and reduce the cooling or heating costs, help save fuel and electricity, reduce oil materials, the roof of volatile organic substances. In addition, new material will also address the treatment of food waste cooking oil. "</ P> < .P> "perceived" temperature scientists have confirmed that a white roof to reflect sunlight and reduce the indoor temperature, it can significantly reduce fuel use and slow global warming. .But the white roof in the winter, residents gave additional energy overhead. .</ P> <P> "perceived" temperature smart coatings will solve this problem. .Experiments showed that in warm weather, asphalt roofing material coated with intelligent temperature will drop 50% -80%; and in cold weather, the temperature can be increased by 80%. .By changing the ratio of the chemical composition of the coating, its function to reflection and absorption in the changing sunlight. .</ P> <P> Benjamin Wen said: "Even if the temperature of the roof only to increase or decrease a little, people can see the great changes in electricity bills." </ P> <P> Fire in the paint produced non-toxic .process, the waste oil is first liquefied into a liquid polymer, the polymer can be cured when needed for the plastic. .And not processed oil is different from the polymer does not emit any smell. .In theory, the use of different additives, manufacturers of polymer can be processed into any shape and color from transparent to black. .In addition, this material also has the characteristics of fire and non-toxic. .</ P> <P> Benjamin temperature according to estimates, if the smooth progress of future research, "sense" the temperature of the smart coatings will be in 3 years for commercial purposes. .</ P> <P> </ P> <P> </ P>.
