The monoclinic VO2 particles was firstly prepared via hydrothermal and calcination processes. The effects of hydrothermal time and tungsten doping agent on crystal structure and morphology of the calcined metal oxides were reported. After that, 1 wt % of the prepared VO2 powder was mixed with EVA compound, using two different mixing processes. It was found that mechanical properties of the EVA\/VO2 films prepared by the melt process were superior to those of which prepared by the solution process. On the other hand, percentage visible light transmittance of the solution casted EVA\/VO2 film was greater than that of the melt processed composite film. This was related to the different gel content of EVA rubber and state of dispersion and distribution of VO2 within the polymer matrix phase. Thermochromic behaviors and heat reflectance of the EVA\/VO2 film were also verified. In overall, this study demonstrated that it was possible to develop a thermochromic film using the polymer composite approach. In this regard, the mixing condition was found to be one of the most important factors affecting morphology and thermo-mechanical properties of the films.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma10010053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,11]],"date-time":"2017-01-11T10:36:49Z","timestamp":1484131009000},"page":"53","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Preparation, Characterization and Thermo-Chromic Properties of EVA\/VO2 Laminate Films for Smart Window Applications and Energy Efficiency in Building"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Onruthai","family":"Srirodpai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy, Environment and Materials, King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangkok 10140, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jatuphorn","family":"Wootthikanokkhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy, Environment and Materials, King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangkok 10140, Thailand"},{"name":"Nanotec\u2013KMUTT Center of Excellence on Hybrid Nanomaterials for Alternative Energy, King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology (KMUTT), Thonburi, Bangkok 10140, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saiwan","family":"Nawalertpanya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanotec\u2013KMUTT Center of Excellence on Hybrid Nanomaterials for Alternative Energy, King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology (KMUTT), Thonburi, Bangkok 10140, Thailand"},{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangkok 10140, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kitti","family":"Yuwawech","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy, Environment and Materials, King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangkok 10140, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vissanu","family":"Meeyoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanotec\u2013KMUTT Center of Excellence on Hybrid Nanomaterials for Alternative Energy, King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology (KMUTT), Thonburi, Bangkok 10140, Thailand"},{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Mahanakorn University of Technology, Bangkok 10530, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"394","DOI":"10.1016\/j.enbuild.2007.03.007","article-title":"A review on buildings energy consumption information","volume":"40","author":"Ortiz","year":"2008","journal-title":"Energy Build."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"970","DOI":"10.2109\/jcersj2.117.970","article-title":"Thermochromic tungsten doped VO2-SiO2 nano-particle synthesized by chemical solution deposition technique","volume":"117","author":"Miyazaki","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
