Abstract

Explores the science and technology of tiny structures that have a huge potential to improve quality of life while simultaneously achieving reductions in the use of fossil fuels. This book examines energy flows in nature and how the optical properties of materials can be designed to harmonise with those flows. It then discusses the properties that can be achieved in real materials to take advantage of nature’s energy flows. Gives a broad coverage of how nanoparticles impact energy use in the built environment.
