| Thermobimetals |
Still in development, this new self-actuating responsive material is based upon 2 metal alloys of differing material coefficients of expansion laminated together. The potential are the creation of facade panels, blocks or tiles that ‘breathe’. The reason being that the differential thermal expansion causes the material to curl as it heats, ventilating a space as the internal or external rises or closing it down in the case of a fire.
