  1. Jose Marroquin Suspended Particle Device Glass MEEN 3344

  2. How it Works • Two panels of glass or plastic • Conductive material - used to coat the panes of glass • Suspended particle devices - millions of these black particles are placed between the two panes of glass • Liquid suspension or film - allows the particles to float freely between the glass • Control device - automatic or manual
