The Octoglass company is engaged in developments in the field of electrochrome technologies. In addition to the commercially available and licensed organic option, we are developing hybrid and all-solid structures. In terms of developing the competencies of our employees, we at Octoglass encourage the participation of our employees in specialized conferences and symposia, the publication of scientific articles. In mid-March, Moscow hosted the VII International Conference “Laser, Plasma Research and Technologies” LaPlaz 2021 at the site of the “Institute of Laser and Plasma Technologies” NRNU MEPhI. Employees of Octoglass spoke at the conference with reports on the problems and solutions to difficulties arising from the use of thin films of tungsten oxide and, as a result, the effect of defects in the structure on the cyclic life of an electrochromic device using tungsten oxide.
