AI Technical Summary
Existing polymer-based radiative cooling materials lack stability in strong ultraviolet environments, leading to shortened lifespan and deteriorated radiative cooling performance. Traditional solutions also suffer from the problem of energy conversion into heat or environmental pollution.
A structure consisting of an alternating ultraviolet reflective layer of polymethyl methacrylate and polycarbonate and a polymer resin layer doped with refractive particles is prepared by a micro-nano layered co-extrusion process. This achieves a synergistic effect of ultraviolet reflection and infrared emission, thereby enhancing the resistance to ultraviolet aging.
It improves the ultraviolet reflectivity and infrared emissivity of materials, extends service life, avoids energy loss, is low in cost and environmentally friendly, and is suitable for mass production.
