Development of Bionic Coating Technology to Enhance the Solar Heat Shielding Capability of Architextiles

Shang S., Chiu K-L, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, HK

The current work developed a bionic coating technology that mimics the micro-hair arrays of Saharan Silver Ant (SSAnt) on the architextiles to enhance their solar heat shielding capability. To do so, the Al-ZnO microrods were [...]
