Abstract

The design and preparation of infrared stealth materials that meet the application in complex environments is urgently demanded in military fields. In this paper, composites with low emissivity and thermal insulation are designed to be used for indoor and outdoor infrared stealth. Thereinto, nanoPE-MXene, yttrium oxide coated hollow glass microspheres (HGMs@Y2O3) and polypropylene nonwoven (PPF) were used as low emission, insulation, and antifouling layers, respectively. The sandwich-structured composite reduce the infrared radiation temperature of the 80 °C heat source object to 33.9 °C, and the average infrared emissivity of 3-15 μm is only 0.17. In addition, the infrared stealth performance of the composite is not affected by environmental changes. More importantly, the composite exhibits excellent anti-fouling and ageing resistance performance, which lays the foundation for the practical application of efficient stealth infrared materials.
