Definitions
- Substrate provided with a layer of thermochromic oxide.
- the invention relates to a substrate provided with a layer of thermochromic oxide.
- the invention further relates to special applications of such a substrate, in particular as an optical temperature indicator and as a temperature-dependent reflector for IR radiation.
- thermochromic materials are provided on a reflecting substrate.
- a suitable substrate which is mentioned is aluminum on a quartz substrate or stainless steel.
- the substrate provided with a layer of thermochromic oxide is immediately applicable as such as a temperature-dependent mirror.
- thermochromic materials exhibit a change in their reflection characteristics, and thus in their color as a result of a temperature change.
- Such changes can be very considerable with certain thermochromic materials, such as from red to black, from yellow to red, and from yellow to a dark brown, a wide-ranging summary of thermochromic oxides and their characteristic color changes being given in US patent
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a substrate which is insensitive to corrosion and which is provided with a layer of thermochromic oxide. Another object of the present invention, furthermore, is to provide a substrate which can be used as an optical temperature indicator in a convenient manner.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a substrate which can be used as a temperature-dependent reflector for IR radiation in a simple manner.
- the substrate as mentioned in the opening paragraph, according to the invention, is characterized in that the substrate is a particle with a diameter of ⁇ 200 ⁇ m, which particle-type substrate is provided with a layer of crystalline thermochromic oxide with a thickness of ⁇ 150 nm and a phase transition at a temperature below 150 °C.
- particle should be understood to mean a plate-shaped particle or flake within the scope of the present invention. Such particles are characterized by an aspect ratio > 10. Furthermore, it is important for the present invention that the orientation of the particles should be parallel to the base surface on which the particles are provided. A diameter of ⁇ 200 ⁇ m is desirable in particular for the purpose of providing the substrate as a dispersed particle in a transparent matrix which can be provided on a base surface, for example the sole of an electric iron, by known methods. If a particle with a diameter outside the range mentioned above is used, it is not possible in practice to provide the substrate in a thin layer on a base surface without the particles exhibiting the desired degree of reflection.
- thermochromic oxide must be crystalline because the amorphous state has no phase transition. Moreover, the phase transition must take place at a temperature below 150 °C in view of the practical application, the layer of crystalline thermochromic oxide being provided in a thickness of ⁇ 150 nm so as to achieve the desired optical effects.
- the layer of crystalline thermochromic oxide with a thickness of ⁇ 100 nm has a phase transition at a temperature of ⁇ 100 °C.
- a transition temperature is desired especially for applications in the domestic sphere, for example for the sole of an electric iron, where especially the risk of physical contact with a hot surface, which causes injuries, is to be prevented.
- Suitable substrates which may be mentioned are zinc, copper, aluminum, alloys thereof, and mica.
- mica with a diameter of ⁇ 150 ⁇ m is used, which material is particularly insensitive to corrosion.
- VO 2 is preferably used as the crystalline thermochromic oxide, in particular V0 2 with a monoclinic structure, which material has a high refractive index and is semi- transparent.
- Monoclinic V0 2 is particularly suitable for use as a thermochromic oxide, having a phase transition to a tetragonal structure at a temperature of approximately 68 °C, at which phase transition the refractive index changes significantly.
- a layer of a transparent or selectively absorbing metal oxide is provided between the substrate and the layer of thermochromic oxide provided thereon, which additional layer is preferably provided to a thickness of ⁇ 1 ⁇ m, more in particular to a thickness of ⁇ 500 nm.
- a metal oxide chosen from a group comprising titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, tin oxide, vanadium pentoxide, chromium oxide, iron (LU) oxide, and mixtures thereof is preferably used as a suitable transparent or selectively absorbing metal oxide, silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide being particularly preferred on account of their low refractive index values and their high chemical inertness.
- silicon nitride and magnesium fluoride may be mentioned as suitable transparent or selectively absorbing materials for the intermediate layer. It is desirable in certain embodiments of the present invention that the phase transition of the layer of crystalline thermochromic oxide should be lowered, which effect may be achieved in that such a layer is doped with one or several transition metals having a valence of > 5, for example chosen from a group comprising titanium, niobium, molybdenum, iridium, tantalum, and tungsten, and mixtures thereof.
- thermochromic oxide is doped with one or several transition metals with a valence of ⁇ 4, for example chosen from a group comprising aluminum, chromium, and iron, or mixtures thereof. It should be noted, however, that it is somewhat unpredictable whether the phase transition will be raised or lowered in the case of a valence of 4.
- the quantity of the dopants mentioned above to be added depends on the desired temperature shift and is given by the general formula V i-x M x 0 2 , in which M is the dopant element and x the stoichiometric quantity, for which it is true that 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 0.1, preferably 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 0.05.
- an additional layer of a transparent or selectively absorbing metal oxide is provided over the layer of crystalline thermochromic oxide.
- Such an additional layer not only has an optical function, but also a protective function, for example in the incorporation of pigment in a matrix or during the use of the substrate in question.
- a layer of transparent or selectively absorbing metal oxide is also present between the layer of crystalline thermochromic oxide and the substrate, although the present invention is not limited to the presence of such an intermediate layer.
- a substrate for example aluminum
- a layer of V0 2 and, provided thereon, a layer of, for example, silicon dioxide it is alternatively possible, however, to provide, for example, aluminum with, for example, a silicon dioxide layer and subsequently with a V0 2 layer, which V0 2 layer may possibly be provided with, for example, a silicon dioxide layer.
- a suitable metal oxide which may be provided over the layer of crystalline thermochromic oxide may be chosen from a group comprising titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, tin oxide, chromium oxide, iron oxide, and mixtures thereof, silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide being particularly preferred on account of their low refractive index values and their chemical inertness.
- silicon nitride and magnesium fluoride may be mentioned as suitable transparent or selectively absorbing materials for such a covering layer.
- the thickness of such a transparent or selectively absorbing metal oxide is ⁇ 1 ⁇ m, in particular preferably ⁇ 500 nm.
- the substrate according to the invention is especially suitable for use as an optical temperature indicator.
- the particle-type substrate is thus provided in a transparent matrix on a base surface which is subject to temperature changes. Possible applications which may be mentioned: the sole plate of an electric iron, the wall of a water kettle, an electric hot plate, and the like, wherever it is particularly desirable for the color of the substrate to provide an indication on the prevailing temperature.
- Another application of the substrate according to the invention is as a temperature-dependent reflector for LR radiation, in particular for objects whose temperature is to be controlled, for example satellite panels.
