Dublin, May 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Thermochromic Materials Market 2020-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global market for thermochromic materials should grow from $1.6 billion in 2020 to $2.7 billion by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6% for the period of 2020-2025.
In recent years, thermochromic compounds were of increasing importance in the study and production of "smart lacquers"-that is, lacquers that respond to their environment. Like every thermochromic material, a color change occurs with a temperature change. A thermochromic material could be used to control solar energy flux, integrated into a window system, by changing a visible light transmission in response to the sunlight heating effect.
Due to the threshold temperature change from semi-conducting state to metallic state, thin films of materials such as Fe3O4, FeSi4, NbO2, NiS, Ti2O3 and VO2 could be used to control infrared emission and solar glaze transmission (also known as the Mott transition temperature).
Another type of smart coating includes gels that control insulation, even without any color change, by changing the optical characteristics with temperature. The gel consists of water, an ethylene oxide group polyether, carboxyvinyl copolymers and an anti-colding substance. The polyether molecules are almost inseparable from the water-glycol mix, and the material is transparent, below the changeable temperature.
The polyether molecules expel water and aggregate over the critical temperature, forming particles in the micron size, which disperse visible light strongly and make the material opaque. The key advantages are that the temperature of transition may be altered through changes to the composition of the gel, and the gel can be installed easily within a double wall window in narrow spaces or in cracks.
Thermochromism applications can vary from toys, which transform color with temperature, to potentially life-saving objects, like road signs that change color at the start of freezing conditions. While there is a wide range of applications for targeted thermochromism, thermochromics can also lead to unwanted features, like changes in the slide film's color after screening or changes in optical colorimetry standards. Understanding the thermochromic base increases the understanding of the relationships between material structure and properties and inspires new generations of thermochromic materials and related materials.
