The thrust to find new technology and materials has been greatly increasing due to environmental and technological challenges in the progressive world. Among new standard materials and advanced nano-materials that possess a huge potential and superior thermal, mechanical, optical, and magnetic properties, which have made them excellent and suitable components for mechanical engineering applications. The current review paper deals with recent enhancements and advances in the properties of nano-structured glasses and composites in terms of thermal and mechanical properties. A fabrication method of nano-structured glass has briefly been discussed and the phase change material (PCM) method outlined. The comprehensive review of thermal and optical properties confirms that nano-fabricated glasses show both direct and indirect running of band gaps depending on selective nano-structuring samples. The electrical and magnetic properties also show enhancement in electrical conductivity on nano-structured glasses compared to their standard counterparts. The realistic changes in thermal and mechanical properties of nano-structured glasses and composites are commonly attributed to many micro- and nano-structural distribution features like grain size, shape, pores, other flaws and defects, surface condition, impurity level, stress, duration of temperature effect on the selective samples. Literature reports that nano-structuring materials lead to enhanced phonon boundary scattering which reduces thermal conductivity and energy consumption.

“…Huang et al proposed and optimized a new energy-saving glass with silver blocks embedded within SiO

thin film nano-structures using numerical methods, as shown in Figure 4 a. Based on the rigorous coupled wave analysis algorithm (RCWA), they demonstrated that the proposed structure has the desired wavelength-selective reflectance ( R ) and transmittance ( T ) [ 36 ]. The energy-saving glass has a high T and low R in the visible range, while the low T and high R in the near-infrared which saves energy for building lighting and diminishes the infrared radiation and then decreases the cost for air-conditioning [ 36 ].…”

A Review of Tunable Wavelength Selectivity of Metamaterials in Near-Field and Far-Field Radiative Thermal Transport

et al. 2018

Radiative thermal transport of metamaterials has begun to play a significant role in thermal science and has great engineering applications. When the key features of structures become comparable to the thermal wavelength at a particular temperature, a narrowband or wideband of wavelengths can be created or shifted in both the emission and reflection spectrum of nanoscale metamaterials. Due to the near-field effect, the phenomena of radiative wavelength selectivity become significant. These effects show strong promise for applications in thermophotovoltaic energy harvesting, nanoscale biosensing, and increased energy efficiency through radiative cooling in the near future. This review paper summarizes the recent progress and outlook of both near-field and far-field radiative heat transfer, different design structures of metamaterials, applications of unique thermal and optical properties, and focuses especially on exploration of the tunable radiative wavelength selectivity of nano-metamaterials.

“…The loss of energy consumption for heating and cooling all through the year accounts for more than half in whole building enclosure [1].Exterior windows area occupies 30% in enclosure structure outside, and glass area in building occupies from 68% o 75% in exterior windows [2].Total amount of glass in China's existing architectural reaches about 6 billion square meters, the annual output of construction glass is about 70 million square meters, while the insulation performance for the majority of architectural glass is poor, the ability isolating solar radiation is weak, exterior window become the weak links and key parts of building energy saving. With the development of building technology, the application of glass in construction become more and more, the relationship between glass and energy saving will be more closely.…”

In hot summer and cold winter zone, engineers and designers are always plagued by the rational use of energy-saving glass combining with practical engineering. Scientific selection of energy-saving glass has important theoretical and engineering significance for building energy saving In this study, glass comprehensive index was established, technical and economic factors of glass were considered altogether. The comprehensive indexes of different energy-saving glasses were calculated and the evaluation analyses of energy-saving glasses were done. For the first time, research results show that mid-hollow Low-E glass has maximum energy efficiency under the present technical and economic conditions and vacuum glass has wide application prospect in the future. The conclusions of the study are in good agreement with engineering practice.
