Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of composite materials, in particular to a high-temperature-resistant infrared stealth film and a preparation method of the high-temperature-resistant infrared stealth film. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of modern military detection technology, stealth technology has become an important research direction in the field of military technology. Infrared stealth is an important aspect of stealth technology, which reduces the intensity of external radiation of the target infrared below the sensitivity of the infrared detector, and reduces the probability of being detected by the infrared detector.
[0003] The infrared radiation intensity is related to the infrared emissivity and the surface temperature of the target. In order to realize infrared stealth, infrared stealth materials can be divided into two categories: controlling emissivity and controlling temperature. The former mainly includes paint and film, and the latter mainly includes thermal insulation materials, heat-absorbing materials and high specific radiation polymers. Among them, low-emissivity film is suitable for mid-infrared and far-infrared wave bands, and its role is to make up for the radiation temperature difference between the target and the environment. Its advantages are very low emissivity and good thermal insulation effect. Metal film is a kind of the simplest and most effective low-emissivity film.
[0004] At present, the low-emissivity film has poor performance in high-temperature resistance and infrared stealth. It can only work for 1-2 hours at most in a high-temperature environment above 1000℃, and cannot work for a long time, which seriously affects the wide application of infrared stealth film. Therefore, with the rapid development of aerospace technology, there is an urgent need for a material that has good high-temperature resistance and low infrared emissivity to meet the application requirements of important key parts in the field of aerospace.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The materials, methods, and examples provided herein are illustrative only and in no way limiting.
[0025] The high-temperature-resistant infrared stealth film disclosed in the embodiments of the present application is a nano multilayer film composed of a metal layer and an oxide layer, has a three-layer or more laminated structure composed of the metal layer and the oxide layer alternately, wherein the metal accounts for 99-50 wt.%, and the oxide accounts for 1-50 wt.%; at the same time, the thickness of the metal layer is greater than or equal to 400 nm and less than or equal to 2000 nm, the thickness of the oxide layer is greater than or equal to 200 nm and less than or equal to 600 nm, and the infrared emissivity of the nano multilayer film is less than 0.17 after being kept at a temperature above 1000 DEG C for at least 25 hours.
[0026] In one embodiment of the present application, when forming the nano-multilayer film of the high-temperature resistant infrared stealth film, the oxide layer is used as the outermost layer, and accordingly, the metal layer and the oxide layer have different structures according to the number of layers, for example, the nano-multilayer film can have an inner oxide layer-middle metal layer-outer oxide layer structure, or an inner metal layer-inner oxide layer-outer metal layer-outer oxide layer structure, and the like.
[0027] In one embodiment of the present application, magnetron sputtering can be used to prepare various materials such as metals, semiconductors, and insulators, and has the advantages of simple equipment, easy control, large film area, and strong adhesion, and the like, and therefore, the nano-multilayer film can be formed by the method of magnetron sputtering, and the infrared emissivity of the nano-multilayer film can be controlled by controlling the thickness of each layer during magnetron sputtering.
[0028] Further, different sputtering methods can be used to form the metal layer and the oxide layer in the nano-composite material. Magnetron sputtering includes direct current sputtering, radio frequency sputtering, and direct current-radio frequency co-sputtering. Direct current sputtering refers to sputtering and film deposition by bombarding the target material with ions generated by direct current glow discharge. Radio frequency sputtering refers to sputtering and film deposition by bombarding the target material with positive ions in the radio frequency discharge plasma, and then depositing the target material atoms on the grounded substrate surface. Direct current-radio frequency co-sputtering is suitable for the case of having double targets. In the present embodiment, the metal layer and the oxide layer need to be prepared, and accordingly, the metal target and the oxide target need to be used. Therefore, the direct current-radio frequency co-sputtering can be used to prepare the metal layer and the oxide layer, and the direct current sputtering method can be used to prepare the metal layer, and the radio frequency sputtering method can be used to prepare the oxide layer. The two sputtering methods can also be set to different powers, so as to obtain films with different properties and thicknesses.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, the nano-multilayer film can be formed by alternately sputtering the oxide target material and the metal target material, and taking the oxide layer as the outermost layer.
