31. The device of claim 24 wherein the at least one material capable of absorbing incident sunlight and causing a temperature increase absorbs sufficient sunlight energy to cause a 20� C. or more temperature increase in the thermochromic material when the device is exposed to full sunlight.
32. The device of claim 24 wherein the thermochromic materials are capable of reversibly increasing in light absorption over the temperature range of about 30 to 90� C.
62. The window of claim 46 wherein the material with residual light energy absorbing character absorbs sufficient sunlight energy to cause a 10� C. or more temperature increase in the thermochromic material when the device is exposed to full sunlight.
80. The window of claim 64 wherein the material with residual light energy absorbing character absorbs sufficient sunlight energy to cause a 10� C. or more temperature increase in the thermochromic material when the device is exposed to full sunlight.
The residual light energy absorbing character is provided by static light energy absorbing materials and/or thermochromic materials that have some light energy absorbing character at ambient, outdoor temperatures. Preferably, any light energy absorbing character of the thermochromic materials at ambient outdoor, temperatures that contributes to the residual light energy absorbing character is due to the more colored form of the thermochromic materials that exists because of the thermal equilibrium between the less colored and more colored forms at outdoor, ambient temperatures or is due to the coloration of the less colored form and is not due to photochromic activity of the thermochromic materials. Preferably, the residual light energy absorbing character is such that the window is capable of absorbing about 5% or more and more preferably about 10% or more of the energy of solar irradiance incident on the window or device apart from any absorption changes caused by sunlight exposure. Preferably, the residual light energy absorbing character is such that there is a temperature increase in the materials responsible for the thermochromic character of at least 10� C. and more preferably of at least 20� C. above the ambient, outdoor temperature when the window or device is exposed to direct or full sunlight.
The thermochromic character can be provided by essentially any material or materials which change reversibly from absorbing less light energy to absorbing more light energy as the temperature of the material or materials is increased. It is preferred that the thermochromic character be provided by materials that have a smaller absorption at outdoor, ambient temperatures on warm and hot days and have an increase in absorption when the temperature of the materials responsible for the thermochromic character is increased at least 10� C. It is preferred that the thermochromic character be provided by materials that have even less absorption at outdoor, ambient temperatures on cool and cold days and a less significant increase in absorption when the temperature of the window increases due to exposure to direct or full sunlight on cool and cold days.
The range of outdoor or ambient temperatures in which it is desirable for the thermochromic layer to be active is about 20� C. to 55� C. In the presence of the proper amount of residual light energy absorbing character and direct sunlight exposure the temperature of the thermochromic layer itself is typically about 30� C. to 90� C. The temperature range of about 30� C. to 90� C. is the range in which significant increases in the coloration of the thermochromic layers of the devices of the invention take place.
Many of the above thermochromic materials are also photochromic. Many of those that are photochromic become significantly colored if they absorb UV and/or SWV light at temperatures between about 10� C. and 30� C. The rate of thermal bleaching of the photocolored state or rate of return to thermal equilibrium increases with increasing temperature so that at about 35� C. to 40� C. many of the photochromically active materials exhibit very little steady state photo-induced coloration. As indicated below, this photochromic activity also may be blocked or controlled by using a barrier to absorb UV or UV and SWV light. However, the thermal equilibrium between the less colored form and the more colored form shifts toward increasing concentration of the more colored form, as the temperature is increased, for many of the thermochromic materials whose structures are given above. The preferred thermochromic materials and thermochromic systems are those which have a large increase in coloration due to the thermal equilibrium shift over the temperature range of about 30� C. to 90� C.
Unfortunately, the more colored form of some of the materials whose structure are given above can be converted to the less colored form by the absorption of visible light from the sun in a so called photo-bleaching reaction. This photo-bleaching reaction is undesirable for the thermochromic materials used in the devices of the present invention. For example, a thermochromic layer containing 1',3'-dihydro-1'-ethyl-3'-ethyl-3'-methyl-6-nitrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-(2H)-indole], (Chroma Dye 47, available from Chroma Chemicals Inc. of Dayton, Ohio) turns from light red to dark red on heating from 20� C. to 60� C. in the absence of sunlight in films of polymethylmethacrylate, polyvinylacetate and poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) and appeared to be an excellent candidate for a thermochromic material and/or material for combination with other thermochromic materials in all of these polymer layers. However, heating in sunlight resulted in very little if any increase in light absorption for Chroma Dye 47 in polymethylmethacrylate and polyvinylacetate because of what is believed to be visible light induced conversion from the more colored form to the less colored form or photobleaching. This problem was not observed with Chroma Dye 47 in poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) in the presence of 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone. Chroma Dye 47 is a preferred thermochromic material for use in films containing poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) especially those also containing benzophenone type UV absorbers which appear to accentuate the thermochromic activity of Chroma Dye 47. The thermochromic material Chroma Dye 88 suffers from this photobleaching phenomena in some polymer systems, but to a lesser extent in general than Chroma Dye 47 and can still be used in thermochromic layers particularly in combination with other thermochromic materials.
As prepared, the thermochromic layer may be essentially colorless and absorb very little solar energy or may be somewhat colored and solar energy absorbing thus providing residual light energy absorption. It has been discovered that the preferred thermochromic materials like the Reversacols Palatenate Purple, Aqua Green and Sea Green have enough visible light energy absorbing character at 20� C. to 25� C. when dissolved in a polymer matrix to provide heating of the thermochromic layers when exposed to direct sunlight on a warm day. The solar energy absorbed by the thermochromic material(s) in the thermochromic layer may be nearly 0% to as high as about 50% at temperatures of 20� C. to 25� C. As the temperature increases from, for example, 20� C. or 25� C. to temperatures typically reached in the windows on warm or hot days in direct sunlight of 30� C. to 90� C., the transmission of the window typically decreases by as much as 35 to 45 percentage points. So a window with say 80% transmission can decrease to at least as low as 45% to 35% solar energy transmission and a thermochromic layer with say 55% transmission can decrease to at least as low as 20% to 10% solar energy transmission. In order to achieve this performance, the polymer type thermochromic layers range in thickness from about 0.001 centimeters to about 0.1 centimeters and preferably from about 0.01 centimeters to about 0.05 centimeters. The total thermochromic material content in the polymer type thermochromic layers ranges from about 0.1 weight % to about 20 weight %.
A particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention for certain applications involves a flexible plastic substrate coated with a thermochromic layer which can be adhesively bonded to a glass sheet. The preferred flexible substrate is a polyester film already coated with a low emissivity coating, (low-e coating, see below), such as the products sold under the name Solis� by Southwall Technologies of Palo Alto, Calif. This type of substrate is coated with, for example, a thermochromic layer and then coated with a barrier layer which has adhesive properties. The thermochromic layer and the barrier layer are placed on the substrate on the side opposite of the side already coated with a low-e coating. The coated polyester film can then be bonded to a flat or curved piece of glass, either in a building or a motor vehicle, and thus provide a means retrofitting existing windows with the energy saving features of the present invention.
A preferred glass substrate is the tinted float line glass known as EverGreen™ glass available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio, the transmission spectrum of which is shown as curve 2 of FIG. 4. Other preferred glass substrates are Solargray� glass and Solarbronze� glass available from PPG Industries, Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pa. Preferred plastic substrates are flexible plastic sheets already coated with a low emissivity layer such as Solis� polyester films available from Southwall Technologies of Palo Alto, Calif.
Static light energy absorbing materials are materials such as dyes, pigments, tinted glasses and inherently colored plastics. If static light energy absorbing material(s) is present, it is present at a level or concentration such that it absorbs from a few percent to about 50 percent or more of the visible and/or NIR light available in sunlight. The amount of static light energy absorbing material added depends on the amount of residual light energy absorption provided by other parts of the window, mainly the absorption of the thermochromic material at temperatures around 20� C. to 25� C. In general the static light energy absorbing material is present at a level or concentration such that the total residual light energy absorbing character results in about 10% to about 50% of the total sunlight energy incident on the window being absorbed.
A particularly advantageous method of providing static light energy absorbing character to windows of the invention is through the use of tinted windows or glass as substrates. Preferred substrates with static light energy absorbing properties are EverGreen™ glass available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio and Solargray� glass and Solarbronze� glass available from PPG Industries, Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Preferred low-e coatings or layers are stacks of thin layers of metal oxides alternated with thin, transparent layers of metal. For example, a thin transparent layer of silver between two thin, transparent layers of zinc oxide to anti-reflect the silver layer give a high light transmission low-e layer with an emissivity as low as about 0.1. Also preferred are thin layers of degenerately doped metal oxide semiconductors such as fluorine doped tin oxide and tin doped indium oxide. These metal oxide coatings can be color suppressed by one or more undercoating and can easily achieve an emissivity of less than 0.2. Low-e coatings with an emissivity of less than 0.2 are preferred. Examples of commercially available low-e coated glass suitable for use in the present invention are TEC 15 and Energy Advantage� Low-E available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio; LoE-178 and LoE2 available from Cardinal Glass of Spring Green, Wis.; Comfort E and Comfort E2 available from AFG Industries, Inc. of Kingsport, Tenn. and Sungate� 100, Sungate�500 and Sungate�1000 available from PPG Industries, Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pa. An example of a preferred low-e coated plastic is Solis� polyester films available from Southwall Technologies of Palo Alto, Calif.
A thermochromic window is prepared by laminating a piece of glass with short wavelength barrier properties to a piece of glass coated with a low-e layer together with a thermochromic polymer film as the laminating layer. The piece of glass with short wavelength barrier properties is a 495 nanometer cutoff filter glass obtained from Edmund Scientific Company of Barrington, N.J. The piece of glass coated with a low-e layer is a piece of TEC 15 glass available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio. The thermochromic polymer film layer is prepared from a solution of propylene carbonate containing 0.3 gram of poly(vinyl acetate), (average molecular weight ca. 167,000), and 0.3 gram of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone both available from Aldrich Chemical Company Inc. of Milwaukee, Wis., and 10 milligrams of Reversacol Palatenate Purple, (a spirooxazine type compound available from Keystone Aniline Corporation of Chicago, Ill.). Several drops of the viscous solution were spread on the uncoated side of the TEC 15 glass and this solution is allowed to dry in an oven at 60� C. for 20 hours. This film is photochromic in nature in that exposure to sunlight immediately caused the initially medium green film to turn dark greenish/blue. The film is thermochromic in nature in that heating the film from room temperature to 70� C., in the absence of sunlight, caused the film to turn progressively darker bluish/green.
The polymer film thus obtained is tacky and somewhat compliant even after drying so that lamination of the piece of glass with short wavelength barrier properties to the piece of TEC 15 glass is accomplished simply by pressing the barrier glass onto the thermochromic polymer film. The laminated window thus obtained is medium bluish/green in color in the area of the thermochromic layer. No photochromic coloration was observed when the window was exposed to direct sunlight for several minutes with the barrier glass facing the sun and the low-e layer facing away from the sun. On exposure to direct sunlight, with the same orientation to the sun, for an extended period of time, (at least 20 minutes), at an ambient temperature of approximately 31� C. the temperature of the window rose to 53� C. The window in the area of the thermochromic layer changed from medium green to noticeably darker bluish/green in appearance as the temperature rose. Thus the photocoloration of the window was suppressed and the thermal coloration due to the warm ambient temperature and direct sunlight exposure was significant even though there may have been a small amount of photobleaching due to the visible portion of the sunlight.
A thermochromic window was prepared from a sheet of EverGreen™ glass laminated to a sheet of Energy Advantage� Low-E both available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio. The pieces of glass were laminated together by solvent casting a film of poly(vinyl acetate), (average molecular weight ca. 167,000), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone both available from Aldrich Chemical Company Inc. of Milwaukee, Wis., and Reversacol Palatenate Purple, (a spirooxazine type compound available from Keystone Aniline Corporation of Chicago, Ill.), from a propylene carbonate solution on one side of the EverGreen™ glass and on the side of the Energy Advantage� glass opposite the low-e coating. After the propylene carbonate had evaporated, the polymer films were pressed together and heated to form a single uniform film 0.026 centimeter thick.
At a temperature of 23� C. indoors, in normal room light the window was moderately green in color. This window was exposed to sunlight, with the EverGreen™ glass side of the laminate facing the sun and the low-e layer facing away from the sun, on a warm day, (outdoor, ambient temperature 32� C.). The window became darker colored from what was apparently photochromic activity. After several minutes, the sunlight exposure caused the temperature of the window to rise to 35� C. and the window became less colored. After a total of about 20 minutes the temperature of the window rose to 54� C. and the thermochromic layer had progressively darkened again to a shade of blue/green almost as dark as than that produced initially by the photochromic activity.
With the window at 23� C. and light of wavelengths shorter than about 495 nanometers blocked by placing a cutoff filter over the EverGreen™ glass, no darkening in color was observed on exposure to sunlight because all of the photochromic activity appeared to be suppressed. This was for exposure of the window to sunlight with the cutoff filter facing the sun and the low-e layer facing away from the sun. Further exposure to sunlight caused the window to increase in temperature and coloration as before.
A thermochromic layer was prepared on the uncoated side of a sheet of TEC 15 glass available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio by spreading several drops of a solution of 0.3 gram poly(vinyl acetate), (average molecular weight ca. 167,000), 0.3 gram 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone and 10 milligrams Reversacol Palatenate Purple, (a spirooxazine type compound available from Keystone Aniline Corporation of Chicago, Ill.) dissolved in 0.4 grams of acetone and 0.4 gram of propylene carbonate. The solvents were allowed to evaporate at room temperature for about 1 hour and then at 60� C. for about 16 hours. A slightly tacky, green film about 0.02 centimeter thick was formed. When the glass and the thermochromic layer were heated by passing current through the transparent conducting, low-e layer on the sheet of glass, the thermochromic layer progressively darkened to dark green. The spectra of the thermochromic film on the sheet of glass at 25� C., 45� C., 65� C., and 85� C. are shown by the thin lines in FIG. 3. The spectra at 85� C. is calculated for illuminant D65 and a 2 degree observer to have C.I.E. 1976 L*, a* and b* values of 49.4, -26.1 and -3.9 respectively which give rise to C*ab value of 26.4, (see "Principles of Color Technology, 2nd Edition", F. W. Billmeyer Jr. and M. Saltzman, John Wiley and Sons, Inc. (1981) for a discussion of color coordinates).
A thermochromic layer was prepared on the uncoated side of a sheet of TEC 15 glass available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio by spreading several drops of a solution of 0.3 gram poly(vinyl acetate), (average molecular weight ca. 167,000), 0.3 gram 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone, about 5 milligrams Reversacol Palatenate Purple, (a spirooxazine type compound available from Keystone Aniline Corporation of Chicago, Ill.), about 5 milligrams of 1',3'-dihydro-1',3',3'-trimethyl-5'-methoxy-6-nitrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-(2H)-indole], (Chroma Dye 88 available from Chroma Chemicals Inc. of Dayton, Ohio), dissolved in 0.7 grams of propylene carbonate. The solvent was allowed to evaporate at 60� C. for about 16 hours. A slightly tacky, grayish/reddish/brown film about 0.02 centimeters thick was formed. When the glass and the thermochromic layer were heated by passing current through the transparent conducting, low-e layer on the sheet of glass, the thermochromic layer progressively darkened to quite dark bluish/gray. The spectra of the thermochromic film on the sheet of glass at 25� C., 45� C., 65� C., and 85� C. are shown by the thick lines in FIG. 3. The spectra at 85� C. is calculated for illuminant D65 and a 2 degree observer to have C.I.E. 1976 L*, a* and b* values of 50.7, -12.7 and -11.0 respectively which gives rise to C*ab value of 16.8, which is significantly smaller than the C*ab of 26.4 for the film with Reversacol Palatenate Purple as the only thermochromic material. This means that the combination of thermochromic materials gives a film with a color that is lower in chroma and is duller or more gray in color. A film prepared with Chroma Dye 88 as the only thermochromic materials turns dark reddish/brown on heating and also appears less gray in color than the film with the combination of thermochromic materials.
A thermochromic layer was prepared by solvent casting a film from a solution of 0.24 weight % crystal violet lactone and 4.7 weight % poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate), (88% vinyl butyral, average molecular weight 50,000 to 80,000) both available from Aldrich Chemical Company Inc. of Milwaukee, Wis. and 0.47 weight % octadecylphosphonic acid available from Alfa Aesar of Ward Hill, Mass. dissolved in an equal weight mixture of ethyl acetate and amyl acetate on a piece of TEC 15 glass. After evaporation of the solvents the film composition was about 5 weight % crystal violet lactone and 10 weight % octadecylphosphonic acid in the poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) polymer matrix. As prepared, the film was 0.02 centimeter thick and was nearly colorless but somewhat hazy or light scattering at 25� C. On heating to 50� C. the film turned clear and bright blue in color.
A thermochromic device suitable for use as a window or a shutter was prepared by solvent casting a film that was 9.4 weight % Reversacol Sea Green, 45.3 weight % 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone (a UV stabilizer) and 45.3 weight % poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate), (88% vinyl butyral, average molecular weight 50,000 to 80,000) from a solution of these materials in 50/50 mixture ethyl acetate and amyl acetate on a piece of TEC 15 glass. The high content of 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone appeared to plasticize the film making it easy to laminate a piece of clear window glass to the TEC 15 glass after the solvents had evaporated. By applying pressure at 60� C., the thermochromic polymer film was pressed out to a uniform 0.025 centimeter thick film between the two pieces of glass, by using 0.025 centimeter thick nylon mono-filament spacers between the pieces of glass. It is believed that both the poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) and the 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone provide an environment particularly suitable for thermochromic activity of the Reversacol Sea Green. The piece of TEC 15 glass was larger than the piece of window glass on two opposite sides so that electrical contact could be made on either side of the transparent conductive coating on the TEC 15 glass with electrically conductive, spring loaded, paper clips. A variable voltage alternating current power supply was connected to the clips and the window or shutter was heated to and controlled at various temperatures by applying various amounts of power to the device. The optical properties of the device were measured in a spectrophotometer at a series of temperatures and the measured properties and those calculated from the resulting spectra are shown below:
______________________________________Temperature C.    max Absorbance at max                          White Light % T______________________________________25       631      0.7          38.735       628      1.01         29.245       627      1.44         20.255       624      1.83         14.865       619      2.26         10.775       622      2.85         7.085       617      3.24         5.1______________________________________
Even though the device starts out with a transmission at λmax of only about 20% at 25� C., its transmission at λmax decreases over the range of 25� to 85� C. to about 0.06% for an impressive change of over 330 to 1 in this wavelength range.
A 0.6 centimeter wide aluminum double pane window spacer is bonded to the low-e layer side of the window of Example 2 and the 495 nanometer cutoff filter is bonded to the EverGreen™ glass side of the laminate. A second sheet of Energy Advantage� Low-E available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio is bonded to the other side of the aluminum double pane window spacer, with the low-e coating facing inward toward the first low-e layer. A desiccant is placed in the aluminum spacer and the space between the panes of glass is filled with krypton gas. The window is glazed into a building structure with the following orientation starting from the outside, sunlight exposure side: 495 nanometer cutoff filter glass, EverGreen™ glass, thermochromic layer, Energy Advantage� glass, low-e layer of Energy Advantage� glass, krypton gas, low-e layer of Energy Advantage� glass, Energy Advantage� glass, inside of building. This window system should allow substantial solar radiation into the building under conditions where the sunlight is not direct and/or the outdoor temperature is cool since very little darkening of the thermochromic layer should take place under these conditions. This window system should provide substantial solar energy blocking when the sunlight is directly on the window especially on warm days since the thermochromic layer should darken significantly under these conditions. Even on warm days the heat transfer due to the gas in the space and the thermal expansion of the window system due to expansion of the gas should be minimized due to a thin spacing between the panes and the use of krypton gas in the spacing.
A thermochromic window is prepared from a sheet of EverGreen™ glass available from Pilkington-Libbey Owens Ford of Toledo, Ohio laminated to a sheet of LoE2 available from Cardinal Glass of Spring Green, Wis. The sheet of EverGreen™ glass is coated on one side, over an area of 900 square centimeters, with a solution of 20 grams poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate), (88% vinyl butyral, average molecular weight 50,000 to 80,000), and 5 grams of 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone in 50 milliliters of amylacetate and 50 milliliters of ethylacetate. The sheet of LoE2 is coated on the side opposite the low-e coating, over an area of 900 square centimeters, with a solution of 20 grams of poly(vinyl butyral-co-vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate), (88% vinyl butyral, average molecular weight 50,000 to 80,000), 5 grams of 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone and 1 gram of Reversacol Aqua Green in 50 milliliters of amylacetate and 50 milliliters of ethylacetate. The solvent is allowed to evaporate from the solutions to form a barrier layer on the sheet of EverGreen™ glass and a thermochromic layer on the sheet of LoE2 glass. The two pieces of glass, with the polymer layers facing each other, are fed together through a set of heated pinch rollers and subsequently heated to about 90� C. for 20 minutes. The lamination process is completed in an autoclave procedure like that used for laminating automotive windshields. This window is glazed into a building with the EverGreen™ glass facing the outside, sun exposure side of the building and the low-e layer of the LoE2 glass facing the inside of the building.
With an outdoor temperature of 34� C. and clear, sunny conditions, when the window is exposed to direct sunlight from the side of the EverGreen™ glass, the exposure of the window should cause it to change from medium green to slightly darker green from what is believed to be a small amount of residual photochromic activity. On continued exposure the window should increase in temperature and became progressively darker green in appearance.
With an outdoor temperature of 14� C. and clear, sunny conditions, when the window is exposed to direct sunlight from the side of the EverGreen™ glass, a slight amount of tinting may be observed. Prolonged exposure should only cause a modest increase in the temperature of the window and very little increase in coloration.
The barrier layer for both UV and SWV light is prepared by dissolving 20 grams of polymethylmethacrylate, (average molecular weight ca. 996,000), 2 grams of quinoline yellow, (Solvent Yellow 33, C.I. 47000) and 5 grams of 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone in 14 grams of acetone and 6 grams of propylene carbonate. The solution is evenly spread on the glass substrate over an area of approximately 1000 square centimeters. The solvents are allowed to evaporate at room temperature for 2 hours and in an oven at 60� C. for 16 hours, whereupon a tack free layer with excellent UV and SWV barrier properties can be obtained.
The static, light energy absorbing layer is prepared by dissolving 20 grams of polymethylmethacrylate, (average molecular weight ca. 996,000), 5 grams of 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone and 1 grams of 4,6-dinitro-4'-methyl-2,2'-azodiphenol, (Mordant Brown 6, C.I. 11875) in 14 grams of acetone and 6 grams of propylene carbonate. The solution is evenly spread on the barrier layer over the area of approximately 1000 square centimeters. The solvents are allowed to evaporate at room temperature for 2 hours and in an oven at 60� C. for 16 hours, whereupon a tack free static light energy absorbing layer can be obtained.
The thermochromic layer is prepared by dissolving 20 grams of polymethylmethacrylate, (average molecular weight ca. 996,000), 5 grams of 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone and 0.5 grams of Reversacol Sea Green, (a spirooxazine type compound available from Keystone Aniline Corporation of Chicago, Ill.), in 14 grams of acetone and 6 grams of propylene carbonate. The solution is evenly spread on the static light energy absorbing layer over the area of approximately 1000 square centimeters. The solvents are allowed to evaporate at room temperature for 2 hours and in an oven at 60� C. for 16 hours, whereupon a tack free thermochromic layer can be obtained.
The protective overcoat layer is prepared by dissolving 20 grams of polymethylmethacrylate, (average molecular weight ca. 996,000), and 2 grams of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol in 14 grams of acetone and 6 grams of propylene carbonate. The solution is evenly spread on the thermochromic layer over the area of approximately 1000 square centimeters. The solvents are allowed to evaporate at room temperature for 2 hours and in an oven at 60� C. for 16 hours, whereupon a tack free protective overcoat layer can be obtained.
When the thermochromic window is glazed into a double pane window with the polymer layers facing the inward side of the frame, the other pane is a sheet of Sungate�100 available from PPG Industries, Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pa. with the low-e coating facing the inward side of the frame. The window should provide increased energy efficiency as compared to normal double pane windows when installed in a building with the 1 mm piece of glass facing the outside, followed by the polymer layers, the gas space, the low-e layer and Sungate�100 glass with the uncoated side Sungate�100 glass facing the inside of the building.
A thermochromic layer that is proposed to be retrofitted to existing windows can be prepared by coating a sheet of Solis� polyester film available from Southwall Technologies of Palo Alto, Calif. with a thermochromic layer and a contact adhesive layer with barrier properties. The Solis� film can be coated on the side opposite the side already coated with the low-e coating by spreading a solution of poly(vinyl acetate), (average molecular weight ca. 167,000), Keysorb 1026, bis(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinyl) (3,5-di-tertbutyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)butylpropanedioate and the Reversacol Palatenate Purple in toluene on the polyester film and allowing the toluene to evaporate. This thermochromic layer is over coated by spraying on a dispersion of the UV absorber Tinuvin� 213 available from Ciba Specialty Chemicals of Tarrytown, N.Y. in the contact adhesive Fastbond™ 30-NF available from 3M Company of St. Paul, Minn.

Hrithik Roshan plays the role of Lieutenant (later Acting Captain) Karan Shergill, who leads his team (initially 12, falling to 6 members) to victory over the Pakistani troops. It is a coming-of-age story with a fictionalized backdrop of the Kargil war.
Karan Shergill (Hrithik Roshan) is a young man who has no goal or plans for his future. His father is a businessman, his brother is a successful individual living in America. His girlfriend, Romi (Preity Zinta), a student activist and reporter who espouses fashionable causes out of well-meaning sincerity, tells him he needs to find a goal in life. When a friend announces he is going to join the Indian Military Academy (IMA, Dehradun), Karan applies as well, despite dissent from his parents.

Excellent - Review of Sjavarbarinn, Reykjavik, Iceland - TripAdvisor
Excellent - Sjavarbarinn
I have been in Reykjavik for some days with my family and we decided to go to this restaurant located near the harbour. I have to say that the food is really fantastic - we took the fish soup (me and wife), the fish cake (my daughter) and the fish and chips (my son) and we were all very pleased with our choice. Adding that we were offered a free ride to the salad buffet, that indeed was made up of different kind of fish & salads and was very good too.
The place is very simple and the atmosphere friendly and familiar and I would really recommend it.

During our 9 day stay in Reykjavik this was the best meal we had experienced. The restaurant was full but the owner and chef found us a table. We had the sea food buffet that included: lobster tails, goose and reindeer, various types of fish what a delight it was cooked superbly and the chef took great pride by explaining each dish he had proudly prepared. The restaurant is very informal but the food was 5* plus rest of the guest were mainly locals which I thought was a good indication of the quality that you can expect.
What are you waiting for? go and enjoy as we did.
It cost £52 for both of us and this included the x 2 large Gull beers.
An evening that I will remember for a good long time.

Place sort of over-rated
Had a dinner here with my wife on thursday. All meals ordered comes along "only" with the cold dishes buffet. The hot buffet is only for the buffet menu which we were not informed of that there is for dinner. We ordered the fish and chips and also the breaded crumbs fish. Both of them tasted good and the fish is quite filled within the batter and the fish was also quite fresh imo. Forgot to mention before the mains was served we were also entitled to a bowl of icelandic fish soup which tasted pretty good but it was heavily herbed just to mention. The cold dish buffet was'nt as fantastic as it seemed, we just tasted each of them in bits and that's it.. Overall i would say the price is pretty reasonable and you can visit them if you really have nothing in mind to eat XD

Almost all of the food was deep fried and extremly greasy. The buffet didn't have much to offer. Don't waste your money.
