Thermal-barrier and radar-absorbing metacoating: Dual-scale thermal-electromagnetic manipulation via topology-optimized microarchitecture design
The increasing speeds of hypersonic aircraft and advancing X-/Ka-band fire-control radars impose stringent requirements on aircraft surface materials: thermal protection and multi-band radar stealth. Existing research has not achieved simultaneous integration of high-temperature stability, low thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion compatibility with multi-band radar-absorbing properties. To address this, a thermal-barrier and radar-absorbing (TB-RA) metacoating is proposed, which integrates the optimized thermal-barrier layer with topology-optimized radar-absorbing units, achieving dual-scale thermal-electromagnetic manipulation. With an ultra-thin profile of 1.5 mm, the metacoating achieves an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL ≤ −5 dB) of 17.7 GHz at 1000 °C, maintaining full X-band functionality and 91 % Ka-band coverage. Furthermore, it achieves high-efficiency thermal protection through effective insulation (with thermal conductivity below 0.7 W·m−1·K−1 from 25 to 1000 °C) and radiative cooling (emissivity exceeding 90 % in the atmospheric window). This study presents a novel strategy for integrated thermal protection and multiband radar stealth in hypersonic aircraft surface.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
