Digest for English ReadersDigest for English Readers 590Hot Topics in Polymer Science in SPSJ 593COVER STORYLight and Thermal Control Materials forEnergy ManagementCurrently, Japan faces a serious energy problem, butthe situation is also similar all around the world. Itseems that no one can find the perfect way to sustainableenergy generation and usage. In such a situation, it isexpected that researchers and engineers proceed with theresearch and development of functional materials forenergy saving and better energy management systems.In this volume, we chose‘light’and‘heat’as a controlledtarget among various energy saving methods andintroduce the light and thermal control materials andrelated technologies for energy management.Editors: NOZUE, IYODA, UOZU, and TAGAYACommentaryControl of Light and Thermal Behavior at 594Building EnvelopeTakashi INOUEDoctor of EngineeringTokyo University of Science Department ofArchitecture Faculty of Science and TechnologyProfessorwww.rs.noda.tus.ac.jp/~inoue-m2/indexj.htmlCOVER STORY: Highlight ReviewsHybrid Materials of Liquid Crystal and Polymer 595Phases for Solar-Ray Control WindowpanesHiroshi KAKIUCHIDADoctor of EngineeringEnergy Control Thin Film Group, MaterialsResearch Institute for Sustainable Development,National Institute of Advanced Industrial Scienceand Technology (AIST)Chief Engineerh.kakiuchida@aist.go.jphttp://unit.aist.go.jp/mrisus/ja/group/ecttg.htmlKazuki YOSHIMURADoctor of EngineeringEnergy Control Thin Film Group, MaterialsResearch Institute for Sustainable Development,National Institute of Advanced Industrial Scienceand Technology (AIST)Group Leaderk.yoshimura@aist.go.jphttp://unit.aist.go.jp/mrisus/ja/group/ecttg.htmlAkifumi OGIWARADoctor of EngineeringDepartment of Electronics Engineering, Kobe CityCollege of TechnologyProfessorogiwara@kobe-kosen.ac.jpwww.kobe-kosen.ac.jp/department/staff/denshi/ogiwara.htmlNowadays, energy-saving windowpanes, which showgood performance in thermal insulation or/and shielding,have become widespread for the reduction of the heatflow occurring between inside and outside of buildings.However, their fixed thermal properties could becomea negative issue against further promoting the energysavingperformance both in summer and winter seasons.Solar-ray control windowpanes are a solution to this issueand are proposed in various types, in which optical andthermal properties can change adaptively in such severelychanging seasons. The meso-scale phase separationstructure of liquid crystal and polymer matrix, calledpolymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), is a candidatefor thermo-responsive solar-ray controllers. This paperdescribes the concept of solar-ray control windowpanesand mainly introduces holographic types of PDLCs andtheir use in the windowpanes.Keywords: Holographic Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal /Phase Separation / Orientational Order / Thermotropic /Bragg Diffraction / Coupled-Wave Theory / SolarTransmittance / Luminous TransmittanceHigh Solar Reflectant Paint 598Katsuo MIKIMiki Coating Design OfficeDirectormiki9@jeans.ocn.ne.jpWe designed a high reflectivity coating material that isreflecting the energy Earth receives from the sun, whichis used to reflecting the near infrared light that heatsthe surface. The role of paint is to provide a protective,beautiful sight and function, but they are granted theability to reflect it. Our material can be used for energyconservation purposes.The reflectivity coating materials have been applied tofactory roof surface, building outer wall surface, roadpavement, tank, vehicle, vessel, aircraft and so on.Keywords: High Reflective PaintNovel Solar-Light Absorption Material601Characterized by Structures of Bagasse CharYoshikazu KONDODoctor of EngineeringUniversity of the RyukyusProfessorkondoyos@lab.u-ryukyu.ac.jpwww.iicc.u-ryukyu.ac.jp/Bagasse, the fibrous residue in waste from sugar mills, isthe most superior biomass which has no disadvantageslike other biomasses. The typical feature of bagasse isthe special hierarchy of the pore structure with a porevolume higher than 90 vol%, which contributes to improveproperties like low-weight, anti-vibration, sound-insulation590 c2013 The Society of Polymer Science, Japan高分子62巻10月号（2013年）
