L2M – ThermaSwitch: Passive Films for Adaptive Heat Management

This project aims to develop and validate a low-cost, energy-efficient film made from common or recycled plastics that can passively manage heat without using electricity or fuel. By microstructuring the surface of materials like polyethylene and polymethylpentene (TPX), we create thin, flexible films that can either retain or release heat depending on their arrangement. When […]
