Task 39 - Polymeric Materials for Solar Thermal Applications


Task 39 Highlights 2012
January 2013 - PDF 0.1MB
One of the greatest challenges of the 21st century is to secure sustainable and save energy supply and to considerably reduce CO2 emissions and the potential serious consequences of climate change. The challenging goals with regard to the contributions of renewable energies cannot be obtained without a considerable growth of the solar thermal markets worldwide. Therefore, reliable, efficient and cost-competitive system components are required in large quantities. Today solar thermal collectors mainly consist of glass and metals whereas especially market prices for metals are subject to big fluctuations.
Polymeric Materials for Solar Thermal Applications
December 2012
Editor: Michael Kohl (Editor), Michaela Georgine Meir (Editor), Philippe Papillon (Editor), Gernot M. Wallner (Editor), Sandrin Saile (Editor)
Bridging the gap between basic science and technological applications, this is the first book devoted to polymers for solar thermal applications.

Clearly divided into three major parts, the contributions are written by experts on solar thermal applications and polymer scientists alike. The first part explains the fundamentals of solar thermal energy especially for representatives of the plastics industry and researchers. Part two then goes on to provide introductory information on polymeric materials and processing for solar thermal experts. The third part combines both of these fields, discussing the potential of polymeric materials in solar thermal applications, as well as demands on durability, design and building integration.
With its emphasis on applications, this monograph is relevant for researchers at universities and developers in commercial labs.
