In addition to providing basic protective functions, modern military uniforms are also being designed to provide special functions, such as infrared shielding. In this study, a nanoscale copper film was deposited on Kevlar para-1414 aramid fabric by magnetron sputtering technology to significantly enhance infrared shielding. The deposition of a uniform nano-copper film on the surface of the aramid fabric enhanced infrared shielding, tensile strain, and conductivity, which is of guiding significance for the development of infrared shielding garments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
