PURPOSE - Plastic UV Radiation Protection Operating by Stokes Emission

该项目将开发一系列新型聚合物添加剂，通过将荧光粉颗粒掺入聚合物中，这些添加剂能够将紫外光下转换为电磁光谱的其他部分。通过将UV和可见光（蓝色和绿色）下转换成红色和近红外线，这些材料将更持久（不被UV光降解）。这项通用技术将有一个巨大的工业应用范围，为英国工业产生巨大的市场份额，包括汽车侧窗和天窗，温室窗户和屋顶，体育场屋顶和隔热。

This project will develop a range of novel polymer additives that are able to downconvert UV light to other parts of the electomagnetic spectrum, by incorporating phosphor particles into the polymers. By down converting the UV and visible (blue and green) light into red and near infra -red, these materials will be longer lasting (not be degraded by UV light). This generic technology will have a huge range of industrial applications generating large market share for UK industry, including car side & roof windows, conservatory windows & roofing, stadium roofing and thermal insulation.
