Abstract
Textiles with multiple functions such as cooling, infrared stealth and UV prevention are highly demanded for military applications and other scenarios. Using solution blowing technique, polyamide 66 (PA66) fibers were deposited onto a copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) coated plain cotton fabric in this work to demonstrate radiation cooling and infrared stealth. The net radiant cooling power reached 96 W/m2 in outdoor high temperature environment, as the heat accumulation on the fabric surface was reduced by the high reflectivity of the Cu-coated layer and the inherent absorption of PA66 film. The PA66/Cu NPs/cotton (PCC) fabric was 2.2 °C lower than the ambient temperature and 4 °C lower than the original cotton fabric. It was further verified that PCC fabric had excellent radiation refrigeration performance through ice melting experiment. The unique composite structure of PCC fabric presented strong scattering and absorption effects to lights, resulting in effectively reduced infrared radiation for infrared stealth. Apart from cooling human body, the PCC fabric reduced the ultraviolet radiation, playing a dual role of sunscreen and heat insulation for outdoor protective gear applications.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
