Squid skin-inspired cup cozy will keep your hands cool and your coffee hot naturesustai
and then spraying multiple polymer layers onto the copper film, all of which can be done in nearly any batch size imaginable."The combined manufacturing strategy that we have now perfected in our lab is a real game changer," said Gorodetsky."We have been working with cephalopod-inspired adaptive materials and systems for years but previously have only been able to fabricate them over relatively small areas.
The developed strategy and economies of scale should make it possible for the composite material to be used in a wide range of applications, from the coffee cup cozy up to tents, or in any container in which tunable temperature regulation is desired., said lead author Mohsin Badshah, a former UCI postdoctoral scholar in chemical and biomolecular engineering.
The team conducted universally relatable coffee cup testing in their laboratory on the UCI campus, where they proved they could control the cooling of the coffee. They were able to accurately and theoretically predict and then experimentally confirm the changes in temperature for the beverage-filled cups. The was also able to achieve a 20-fold modulation of infrared radiation transmittance and a 30-fold regulation of thermal fluxes under standardized testing conditions.
"There is an enormous array of applications for this material," said Gorodetsky."Think of all the perishable goods that have been delivered to people's homes during the pandemic. Any package that Amazon or another company sends that needs to be temperature-controlled can use a lining made from our squid-inspired adaptive composite material. Now that we can make large sheets of it at a time, we have something that can benefit many aspects of our lives.
