Passive Radiative Cooling Film for Heat Reduction
passive-radiative-cooling-film-for-heat-reduction
TO175501
With global warming intensifying, cooling demands for buildings, equipment, vehicles, and outdoor infrastructure are rising rapidly. Conventional cooling solutions—such as air conditioning, mechanical ventilation, and electrically powered thermal management—are energy-intensive and contribute significantly to operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions. As countries seek to reduce energy consumption while maintaining thermal comfort and system reliability, passive radiative cooling solutions are gaining traction to lower operational energy use while improving thermal stability in heat-exposed environments.This technology is a film-based radiative cooling material with a reflective layer engineered for passive outdoor thermal management. Designed with high solar reflectivity and efficient thermal emission, the film incorporates silver within the reflective layer to maximise reflection of near-infrared solar radiation, thereby reducing heat absorption. At the same time, it enables effective radiation of infrared heat through the atmospheric window to the environment, allowing the applied surfaces to remain cooler than the surrounding air even under direct sunlight. The combined effect is a reduction of temperature rise on applied surfaces, lowering heat stress for buildings, machinery, and cargo spaces. The film is applicable across different sectors, including the built environment, industrial facilities, logistics and transportation, and public infrastructure.The technology owner is seeking co-development and pilot collaboration partners to conduct test-bedding and performance optimisation in tropical operating environments such as Singapore, supporting energy efficiency, heat resilience, and decarbonisation objectives across diverse sectors. Partners with film manufacturing capabilities are also welcomed for joint development and scale-up opportunities.
Enhanced Antimicrobial Properties of Polymer with Silver Nanoparticles
enhanced-antimicrobial-properties-of-polymer-products-with-silver-nanoparticles
TO175502
Antimicrobial plastic products are in increasing demand across healthcare, consumer products, and industrial sectors to reduce the spread of harmful microbes while maintaining material performance. However, conventional antimicrobial additives often rely on pre-formed nanoparticles, which are prone to aggregation and can complicate handling and processing, particularly in thin films, fibres, and transparent components.This technology enables the in-process formation and uniform dispersion of silver (Ag) nanoparticles within thermoplastic resins during standard polymer processing, such as extrusion and injection moulding. By incorporating silver fatty acid salts into the resin formulation, nanosized silver particles are generated during thermal processing and stabilised within the polymer matrix, ensuring consistent dispersion under typical shear and thermal conditions. The resulting silver nanoparticles, with sizes on the order of several tens of nanometres, deliver reliable antimicrobial performance at very low additive loadings (as low as 0.01 wt%), while preserving optical clarity and mechanical properties. Accordingly, this technology is particularly well suited for incorporating antimicrobial agents into thin films and fibres, where optical clarity and defect-free moulding are critical. When used in fibres, it helps prevent filament breakage during melt spinning. A resin-compounded antimicrobial masterbatch based on this technology has already been commercialised in products such as face masks and waste bags, demonstrating scalability and real-world applicability.The technology owner is seeking test bedding and pilot deployment partners in resin processing, polymer manufacturing, and end-product sectors to validate performance, scale production, ensure regulatory compliance, and expand application portfolios. In parallel, dispersion methods for solvent-based systems are under development, and partners in surface coatings and film manufacturing are welcomed for co-development and scale-up opportunities.

TO175404
Social issues such as labor shortages are becoming more apparent, making it urgent to utilize digital technology to transform workflows and work styles. In particular, there has been increasing demand for spatial digitalization to manage buildings and streamline renovation processes across various fields.When digitalizing buildings, offices, factories, and other spaces, it is necessary to measure dimensions and create floor plans, which often involves manual work. However, measuring all dimensions and generating floor plans or 3D models manually takes a significant amount of time. Moreover, overlooked measurements often require additional site visits, further delaying the process.Recently, spatial digitalization using sensors such as cameras has been introduced to address these challenges. By sensing spaces and generating point clouds, which are then converted into 3D models, efficiency can be improved. However, existing methods still present issues. Creating point clouds with desktop devices is costly and time-consuming. When using general mobile devices, the accuracy is low and results depend heavily on the operator. Furthermore, transforming point clouds into 3D models often requires extensive manual work and considerable time.This method addresses these challenges. Using low-cost mobile devices, anyone can quickly and accurately acquire point clouds, which can then be automatically transformed into 3D models within just a few hours.
