Paywalled PCM-glazing haze/durability papers to retrieve via library access
watch active p3
Three sources that would close the last quantitative gap on translucent-PCM glazing (numeric ASTM-style haze + long-term optical durability) were Cloudflare/paywall-blocked to WebFetch during the 2026-07-02 gap-closing round. They exist and are on-point — need manual retrieval via institutional access, not retraction.
Next action: Via institutional/library access, retrieve the 3 blocked papers below, extract their haze / yellowing numbers, and update translucent-pcm-glazing.md (haze & cycle-durability section).

Why Track This
The 2026-07-02 gap-closing round established that numeric ASTM D1003 haze for PCM glazing is genuinely sparse and long-term optical-durability data is thin (see translucent-pcm-glazing § “Haze and cycle durability”). Three specific sources would close the remaining gap but were blocked to automated WebFetch — their key numbers are missing from the wiki. This record keeps that durable so a future pass with library access can finish the job rather than re-discovering the gap.
Papers to Retrieve
- MDPI Nanomaterials 2026, 16(11):648 — n-octadecane@SiO₂ microcapsules. Cloudflare-blocked. Already cited for transmittance (83.75% VLT) and cycling (0.93%/100 cyc), but its actual haze table and refractive-index values weren’t extractable. https://doi.org/10.3390/nano16110648
- ScienceDirect S037877882500982X — “smart window with energy storage and optical modulation.” Paywalled. Reported to carry a ~95% haze figure and 95.8 J/g latent heat — the one explicit high-haze PCM datapoint seen in search but never confirmed from full text. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037877882500982X
- PMC7918413 — fatty-acid PCM degradation characterization. Redirect failed on fetch. Best lead for oxidative/yellowing degradation with numbers (a named PCM-glazing failure mode currently stated only qualitatively). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7918413/
Next Action
With institutional/library access, pull the three PDFs, extract the haze %,
refractive-index, and yellowing/degradation numbers, ingest as raw papers, and
update the haze & cycle-durability section of translucent-pcm-glazing.md.
Otherwise bump last_checked on the next PCM-glazing refresh.
Notes
These are fetch/paywall blocks, not dead links — do not treat as retraction candidates. The gap is documented honestly in the article; this record is the pointer to finish it when access allows.
