“…It has been shown that the smoother the surface and the thicker the coating, the lower the emissivity 7 . Similarly, results indicated that the emissivity decreases intensely with increasing thickness but reaches a saturation level at 50 μm 8 . In this research, four low infrared emissivity coatings were prepared with different pigment colors and polyurethaneacrylic polymer binder with similar additives and process conditions respectively.…”

Infrared reflective coatings allow the operator to change the wave signature of military assets. The coatings have the capability to reflect electromagnetic waves in order to match the signature of the observed object to the signature of the corresponding environment, in the visible and near infrared spectra. Consequently, the object blends into the surroundings reducing its vulnerability. The reflectance profile and gloss level of the coating are defined in accordance to the specific environmental constraints, related to the reflectance of soils and vegetation. The paint developed in this study was made with a polyurethane-acrylic based resin, pigments and additives. The final configurations were tested and the reflectance matched those of foliage, sand and soil. The concepts and products developed in this study will be used in the ASTROS Artillery Saturation Rocket System produced by Avibras.

“…The first step of degradation at 250-450 • C is most probably related to the cleavage of organo-groups bound to the silicon atoms resulting in the formation of gaseous product. The second stage of degradation at 600-700 • C is a result of the decomposition of the cross-linking structured [13,24,25]. The Fig.…”

“…During high speed flight, the exterior surface of the aircraft is used in high temperature environments [3,4], so the low emissivity materials generally require good thermal resistance properties. In the past decade, several studies on low emissivity material with excellent thermal resistance have been reported, such as Au thin film [5], VPS coatings [6,7], dielectric/metal/dielectric multi-coatings [8,9], inorganic-organic composite coatings [10][11][12][13]. Especially, the inorganic-organic composite coatings, composed of metallic pigments and organic binder intertwined to provide low emissivity, have the potential for applications in high temperature conditions.…”

“…In recent years, infrared-guided weapons have become the main threats to aircrafts, which require rapid development of the infrared stealthy technology [2]. Low infrared emissivity coatings are widely used in civil and military applications such as heat loss control in industry or camouflaging military equipments [3].…”
