Description

In a recent paper from Joule, Bo and co-workers reveal a new application related to electrocaloric materials. Whereas these materials are generally considered for cooling applications, here they show that electrocaloric polymers can be useful for thermal camouflage by providing very fast temperature change, a property that the well-known Joule effect cannot provide.
