Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of smart materials and devices, and in particular to a method for preparing a mid-infrared transparent and highly reflective visible light film. Background Art

[0002] As the second skin of the human body, clothing plays an indispensable role in human production and survival, achieving both beauty and practicality. In recent years, due to the development of society, outdoor special operations have become more frequent, especially working in high temperature environments in summer, which can cause heat stroke in workers, leading to heat exhaustion, heat stroke, etc. At the same time, in the context of global warming, outdoor heat stress poses a greater threat to health and economy. Therefore, outdoor cooling is necessary in many aspects of sustainable social development, but due to its openness, unlike the easily regulated temperature of indoor spaces, it is impractical and uneconomical to use energy-intensive heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems to cool the huge open space of the outdoor environment. In this case, an ideal solution is to locally cool the human body through clothing.

[0003] On the one hand, mid-infrared transparent visible light high reflective materials have the characteristics of high transmittance in the mid-infrared band (7-14 μm), which coincides with the peak thermal radiation band of the human body. The human body can pass through the material and emit thermal radiation into the environment. On the other hand, they have high reflectivity in the visible light band (340-800 nm), which can minimize the heating of the human body by sunlight and achieve the purpose of cooling the human body. The existing materials of this type generally have the disadvantages of low reflectivity in the visible light part, complex preparation process, difficulty in large-scale preparation, high price, harmful to the human body and non-recyclable.

When the auxiliary material is SEBS rubber powder, the dissolving solution is n-hexane; when the auxiliary material is PEO powder, PVA powder, PAA powder, ZnSO4, NaCl, MgCl2 water-soluble inorganic salt powder, the dissolving solution is water; Step 6), drying the transparent film after the auxiliary material is dissolved to obtain a film that is transparent to mid-infrared and highly reflective to visible light.

[0006] According to a further optimization scheme of the method for preparing a mid-infrared transparent and highly reflective film according to claim 1, the base material and the auxiliary material are evenly mixed by ball milling or manual mixing.

[0007] According to a further optimization scheme of the method for preparing a mid-infrared transparent and highly reflective film according to claim 1, when the particles are melt-pressed in step 4), any one of hot pressing and roller pressing is adopted.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following technical effects: 1. The auxiliary materials are removed by solution, and the film has high reflectivity in the visible light part; 2. By using different ratios of base material and auxiliary materials, films with different visible reflectivity can be obtained; 3.
