    Evaluation of 3D printed optofluidic smart glass prototypes...Smart glass or smart windows are an innovative technology used for thermal management,energy efficiency,and privacy applications.Notable commercially available smart glass relies on an electric stimuli to modulate the glass from a transparent to a translucent mode of operation.However,the current market technologies,such as electrochromic,polymer dispersed liquid crystal,and suspended particle devices are expensive and suffer from solar absorption, poor transmittance modulation,and in some cases,continuous power consumption.The authors of this paper present a novel optofluidic smart glass prototype capable of modulating visible light transmittance from 8% to 85%. #optofluidic #smart_glass 3D_PRINT #OPTICS #PHYSICS (...)
