Motheye smart windows : bio-inspired, temperature-responsive glazing for passive regulation of building temperature with the ability to self-clean

The work presented in thesis is dedicated primarily to improving the optical properties of vanadium dioxide (a thermochromic material used for energy-saving window applications) through the incorporation of bio-mimetic sub-wavelength nanostructures at the air–glass interface. The focal points of our...
