PolyArch – Transferring polymer technology into the field of building technology

Polymer technologies and especially responsive liquid crystal networks can improve the daylight management capabilities of building envelopes by making it adaptive on the Nano scale.

A similar technology as used in this project is widely applied in LCD screens today but the integration into building technology poses many challenges.

To explore the possibilities of transferring polymer technologies into the field of building technology, an interdisciplinary research team has been established under the PolyArch project, covering the scientific areas of facades design and building physics on one side and chemical engineering on the other.

Detailed information about this innovative project are available in the façade category of the database.
