Composite fabrication by encapsulation of Vo2 -particles In glass frits

Experiments are conducted to explore the feasibility of a composite designed with vanadium dioxide (VO2) particles encapsulated by commercial glass frits. This design exploits the low temperature glass formation property of glass frits and its easy treatment, and the thermochromic properties of VO2....
