Abstract

The review covers microencapsulation methods for encapsulating thermochromic leuco dyes, and the incorporation of these microencapsulated thermochromic dyes in smart coatings has been developed, which helps in creating sustainable buildings that use less power for heating and cooling applications. The thermochromic mechanism of leuco dye developer–solvent systems has been elaborated, and the role of each component for the functioning of thermochromic dyes is discussed. The future scope of these dyes in applications involving smart windows and smart coatings for sustainable buildings is consolidated, and their impact on energy consumption has been studied.

用于可持续建筑应用的微囊化热致变色涂料综述

摘要

这篇综述涵盖了用于封装热致变色无色染料的微囊化方法，并且已经开发了将这些微囊化的热致变色染料掺入智能涂料中的方法，这有助于创建可持续的建筑物，从而在供暖和制冷应用中使用较少的电力。阐述了无色染料显影剂－溶剂体系的热致变色机理，并讨论了每种组分对热致变色染料的作用。这些染料在涉及可持续建筑智能窗户和智能涂料的应用中的未来范围得到了巩固，并且已经研究了它们对能源消耗的影响。
