The advantages of using cool polymers in industrial applications such as building materials are significant. Cooler buildings are a positive contribution to our global environment with reductions in urban heat and smog through energy efficiency. Moreover, by reducing the overall temperature of the surface coating through inclusion and optimization of IR-reflective pigments, this should lead to polymers which are more durable when exposed in exterior environments. It is anticipated that the results from this work will have direct impact on the Australian paint market and potentially the commercial and residential building industries of Australia, combined with obvious economic benefits.

在建筑材料等工业应用中使用冷聚合物的优势是显著的。更凉爽的建筑是对我们全球环境的积极贡献，通过能源效率减少城市热量和烟雾。此外，通过包含和优化红外反射颜料来降低表面涂层的总体温度，这将导致聚合物在暴露于外部环境时更耐用。预计这项工作的结果将对澳大利亚涂料市场产生直接影响，并可能对澳大利亚的商业和住宅建筑行业产生直接影响，并带来明显的经济效益。
