Figure 5
The phase separation process of active smart window. (a) Smart window is composed of 3 layers: top and bottom layers are glass plates with patterned ITO electrodes; middle layer is made of thermally responsive hydrogel (TRH). (b) Smart window changes from being transparent to opaque in 1 min under 12 V DC.
