Abstract
To realize the hyperspectral camouflage under the background of vegetation, a polyvinyl alcohol based camouflage coating incorporated with green pigment, calcium alginate fibers, lithium chloride and organic siloxane. The water absorption, reflection spectrum, mechanical property and morphology of the coating were investigated. The results demonstrated that the similarity coefficient and the cosine of spectral angle between the coating and green leaves can reach 0.9612 and 0.9891, respectively, in the range of 200–2400 nm. Meanwhile, the fracture strength of the coating achieves 13.11 MPa. The developed coating possesses remarkable application potential in the field of hyperspectral camouflage to improve the survivability of soldiers and equipment on the battlefields.
