Book Description
Bridging the gap between basic science and technological applications, this is the first book devoted to polymers for solar thermal applications. Clearly divided into three major parts, the contributions are written by experts on solar thermal applications and polymer scientists alike. The first part explains the fundamentals of solar thermal energy especially for representatives of the plastics industry and researchers. Part two then goes on to provide introductory information on polymeric materials and processing for solar thermal experts. The third part combines both of these fields, discussing the potential of polymeric materials in solar thermal applications, as well as demands on durability, design and building integration. With its emphasis on applications, this monograph is relevant for researchers at universities and developers in commercial companies.

Architectural Integration and Design of Solar Thermal Systems
Author: Maria Cristina Munari Probst
Publisher: EPFL Press
ISBN: 2940222460
Category : Architectural design
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Although solar thermal systems are technologically mature and cost effective, they have not yet been sufficiently used in building design to play an adequate role in the reduction of fossil fuel consumption. One main hindrance to adoption is the generally low architectural design quality of the building integration of these thermal systems. Starting from a definition of architectural integration quality and related criteria, this book is intended to help both architects and manufacturers improve their design work.

Organic Solar Thermal Fuels: Mechanisms, Design, And Applications
Author: Wei Feng
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9811285861
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
Organic Solar Thermal Fuels: Mechanisms, Design, and Applications offers a significant introductory overview of the key properties, mechanisms, applications, and research directions in this emerging field of photothermal conversion materials.This book explores the types, characteristics, preparation, testing, applications, and future trends of small organic molecules, polymers, and nanocomposites for solar heat storage. Through the functionalization, composite and ordered structure design, and function-oriented assembly of organic molecules, new micro-nano-superstructure composites with multi-level pore structure, multi-scale network structure, and multi-group interface structure can be constructed, which can greatly improve the energy storage and controllable release performance of existing photothermal fuels. All the basic aspects and technology-oriented developments in this emerging discipline will be covered within this comprehensive and timely book.This first-of-its-kind professional book on organic solar thermal fuels serves as a key major reference work for materials scientists, polymer scientists, and chemists in academia, student and research and development. It may also be of interest to nanoscientists, environmental scientists, and engineers.
