Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of textile camouflage technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing and applying a camouflage coating fabric that imitates broadleaf plant leaves. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of multispectral reconnaissance technology, modern military camouflage systems face the severe challenge of coordinated stealth across the entire visible, near-infrared, short-wave infrared, and thermal infrared spectrum. In modern battlefields, vegetated areas are crucial tactical concealment scenarios. Hyperspectral camouflage materials inspired by broadleaf plant leaves, through biomimetic micro-nano structure design, achieve active adaptation of spectral curves in the 400-2500nm wavelength range, effectively overcoming the spectral mismatch problem of traditional camouflage materials in complex backgrounds. Notably, the water contained within these materials undergoes a transpiration phase change under environmental thermal radiation. This process absorbs a large amount of latent heat, leading to a decrease in the material's surface temperature, unexpectedly endowing the material with passive thermal infrared stealth properties.
[0003] However, existing hyperspectral camouflage materials mimicking broadleaf plant leaves generally employ porous polymer matrices such as polyurethane foam and aerogel with an open porosity exceeding 80% to achieve lightweighting and spectral modulation. While these materials possess excellent spectral modulation capabilities and air permeability, their lightweight, porous structure leads to a rapid water evaporation rate and weak moisture retention, resulting in a short effective camouflage duration under high-temperature, dry environments. Although some studies have extended moisture retention time by applying a waterproof membrane to the surface of the camouflage material, this significantly reduces the material's moisture permeability, causing condensation to accumulate and impairing the spectral camouflage function.
[0004] Furthermore, current thermal infrared camouflage technologies mainly rely on two types of solutions: active cooling and passive reflection. The former, such as semiconductor cooling devices, can achieve low-temperature radiation control, but its high energy consumption significantly increases equipment load. The latter, such as metallic materials like aluminum foil, while possessing low emissivity, suffers from high visible light reflectivity, severely compromising the background blending effect required for hyperspectral camouflage. Silver nanowire networks with a diameter <500nm and a visible light transmittance >80% can effectively guarantee the underlying hyperspectral camouflage function, while their reflectivity >90% in the 8-14μm band endows them with low emissivity. However, current research has not effectively resolved the core contradiction in the synergy between spectral and thermal infrared camouflage performance: blending hyperspectral camouflage coatings with silver nanowires causes the material to lose its hyperspectral and emissivity control capabilities. If a highly transparent visible light silver nanowire is coated on the surface of the hyperspectral camouflage layer, the latter has some absorption in the near-infrared band, reducing near-infrared reflectivity and affecting hyperspectral camouflage performance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a hyperspectral-thermal infrared compatible camouflage material that mimics the shape of broad-leaved plant leaves, possessing both spectral accuracy (0.4~2.5 μm full-band matching) and thermal infrared stealth properties, in order to meet the severe challenges of modern multi-band fusion reconnaissance systems.

[0097] S401, Preparation of green coated fabric: Weigh 40g of dry MIL-101(Cr) into a 5wt% lithium chloride solution, stir for 1h at room temperature, centrifuge to remove the lower precipitate, and dry at 140℃ for 12h to obtain Li-MIL-101(Cr).
[0098] Among them, MIL-101(Cr) has a specific surface area of 2600 m² under conditions of 25℃ and 65%RH. 2 / g, pore volume 0.24cm 3 / g, with a static water vapor adsorption capacity of 0.98g / g. 2g Li-MIL-101(Cr), 3g chrome green, 0.04g iron yellow, 0.15g iron red, 0.05g phthalocyanine blue, 5g binder DM-5128, 2g crosslinking agent CX-100, 10.5g thickener, and 77.26g water were stirred until homogeneous to obtain a hyperspectral camouflage coating. The hyperspectral camouflage coating was applied to the surface of polyester fabric using a coating method, and the color was fixed at 60℃ for 30 minutes to obtain a green coated fabric.
[0099] S402, Preparation of Composite Coated Fabric: 0.5g of crosslinking agent GC-902 was added to a dispersion of 99.5g of silver nanowires (average diameter 500nm, average wire diameter 12μm) with a mass fraction of 5%. The mixture was then sprayed onto the surface of a hyperspectral camouflage fabric. After color fixing at 30℃ for 6 hours, the application amount of low emissivity material was controlled at 1.0g / m². 2 This yields a composite coated fabric. The material's reflectance spectrum curve (1 nm spacing) is shown below. Figure 5 As shown in Table 1, the spectral simulation results for typical background environments are presented in Table 2, and the infrared radiation characteristics are also shown in Table 3. The absolute value of the maximum radiative temperature difference between the sample and the background over a daily period after 30 days of outdoor placement is shown in Table 3, and the various physical properties of the sample are shown in Table 4.
[0100] Conclusion of Comparative Example 1: Although Comparative Example 1 has good thermal infrared performance like Examples 1-3, the spectral fitting degree of Comparative Example 1 is worse than that of Examples 1-3. This is because although silver nanowires have good transparency in the visible light band, they have certain absorption in the near-infrared band, which makes the reflectivity of the hyperspectral camouflage material coated with silver nanowires decrease in the 780-2500nm band, thus reducing the fitting degree to a certain extent.
[0101] Comparative Example 2
[0102] A method for preparing a green coated fabric includes the following steps:
[0103] S501. Preparation of high-reflectivity coated fabric: Weigh 24g of adhesive and 61.2g of water, and add 1.8g of silicon dioxide, 15g of barium sulfate and 22g of titanium dioxide in sequence. Stir until uniform and free of particles to obtain a high-reflectivity coating. Use a coating machine to apply the high-reflectivity coating to the surface of the fabric, and bake at 130℃ for 2~3 minutes to obtain a high-reflectivity coated fabric.
[0104] S502. Preparation of green coated fabric: Weigh 40g of dry MIL-101(Cr) into a 5wt% lithium chloride solution, stir for 1h at room temperature, centrifuge to remove the lower precipitate, and dry at 140℃ for 12h to obtain Li-MIL-101(Cr).
[0105] Among them, MIL-101(Cr) has a specific surface area of 2600 m² under conditions of 25℃ and 65%RH. 2 / g, pore volume 0.24cm 3 / g, static water vapor adsorption capacity is 0.98g / g. 2g Li-MIL-101(Cr), 3g chrome green, 0.04g iron yellow, 0.15g iron red, 0.05g phthalocyanine blue, 5g binder DM-5128, 2g crosslinking agent CX-100, 10.5g thickener, and 77.26g water were stirred until homogeneous to obtain a hyperspectral camouflage coating. The hyperspectral camouflage coating was applied to the surface of polyester fabric using a coating method, and the color was fixed at 60℃ for 30 min to obtain a green coated fabric. The material reflectance spectrum curve (interval 1nm) is shown below. Figure 6 As shown in Table 1, the spectral simulation results for typical background environments are presented in Table 2, and the infrared radiation characteristics are also shown in Table 3. The absolute value of the maximum radiative temperature difference between the sample and the background over a daily period after 30 days of outdoor placement is shown in Table 3, and the various physical properties of the sample are shown in Table 4.
[0106] Conclusion of Comparative Example 2: Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 2, due to its coating with a high-reflectivity inorganic coating of silica, barium sulfate, and titanium dioxide, exhibits excessively high reflectivity in the near-infrared band of 780–2500 nm, resulting in a certain degree of reduced goodness of fit. Furthermore, since Comparative Example 2 relies on the moisture absorption peaks at 1.45 μm and 1.93 μm to impart its thermal infrared performance, its thermal infrared performance is inferior to that of the sample coated with a low-emissivity material. Moreover, under continuous 30-day outdoor exposure, the water absorption peak weakens, indicating poor thermal infrared performance.
[0107] Comparative Example 3
[0108] A method for preparing a green coated fabric includes the following steps:
[0109] 40 g of dried MIL-101(Cr) was weighed into a 5 wt% lithium chloride solution, stirred at room temperature for 1 h, centrifuged, and the lower precipitate was collected and dried at 140 °C for 12 h to obtain Li-MIL-101(Cr). The specific surface area of MIL-101(Cr) at 25 °C and 65% RH was 2600 m². 2 / g, pore volume 0.24 cm³ 3 / g, static water vapor adsorption capacity is 0.98g / g. 2g Li-MIL-101(Cr), 3g chrome green, 0.04g iron yellow, 0.15g iron red, 0.05g phthalocyanine blue, 5g binder DM-5128, 2g crosslinking agent CX-100, 10.5g thickener, and 77.26g water were stirred until homogeneous to obtain a hyperspectral camouflage coating. The hyperspectral camouflage coating was applied to the surface of polyester fabric using a coating method, and the color was fixed at 60℃ for 30 min to obtain a green coated fabric. The material reflectance spectrum curve (1nm spacing) is shown below. Figure 7 As shown in Table 1, the spectral simulation results for typical background environments are presented in Table 2, and the infrared radiation characteristics are also shown in Table 3. The absolute value of the maximum radiative temperature difference between the sample and the background over a daily period after 30 days of outdoor placement is shown in Table 3, and the various physical properties of the sample are shown in Table 4.
[0110] Conclusion of Comparative Example 3: Comparative Example 3 is a hyperspectral camouflage material. Its bottom does not contain highly reflective materials, and its surface does not contain low-emissivity materials, thus exhibiting a high degree of spectral fit. However, this material relies on the moisture absorption peaks at 1.45 μm and 1.93 μm to impart its thermal infrared performance. Its thermal infrared performance is inferior to that of the sample coated with a low-emissivity material. Furthermore, under continuous 30 days of field exposure, the water absorption peak weakens, indicating poor thermal infrared performance.
[0111] Comparative Example 4
[0112] A method for preparing a thermal infrared coated fabric includes the following steps:
[0113] 0.5 g of crosslinking agent GC-902 was added to a dispersion of 99.5 g of silver nanowires (average diameter 500 nm, average wire diameter 12 μm) with a mass fraction of 5%. The mixture was then sprayed onto the surface of a hyperspectral camouflage fabric. After color fixing at 30 °C for 6 h, the application rate of the low emissivity material was controlled at 1.0 g / m². 2 A thermal infrared coated fabric was obtained. The material's reflectance spectrum curve (1 nm spacing) is shown below. Figure 8 As shown in Table 1, the spectral simulation results for typical background environments are presented in Table 2, and the infrared radiation characteristics are also shown in Table 3. The absolute value of the maximum radiative temperature difference between the sample and the background over a daily period after 30 days of outdoor placement is shown in Table 3, and the various physical properties of the sample are shown in Table 4.
[0114] Conclusion of Comparative Example 4: Due to the lack of a hyperspectral camouflage layer, Comparative Example 4 did not exhibit the green peaks, red edges, and moisture absorption valleys characteristic of broadleaf plant leaves, resulting in poor spectral fitting. However, because the fabric surface was coated with a low-emissivity material, it exhibited good thermal infrared performance.
[0115] This invention prepares a hyperspectral-thermal infrared compatible camouflage coating fabric that mimics broadleaf plant leaves, enabling compatible camouflage against plant backgrounds in the 400-2500 nm and 8-14 μm wavelength bands. Specifically, the hyperspectral camouflage performance achieves a spectral fit of over 0.95 with leaves of broadleaf plants such as loquat, camphor, goldenrain tree, and magnolia, meeting the Class I standard in GJB 1411A-2015 "Camouflage Requirements for Surface-to-Surface Missile Weapon Equipment Systems." The thermal infrared camouflage performance achieves a radiation temperature difference of less than 5 K between the sample and the plant background within one diurnal cycle. Furthermore, the material also meets the following requirements: Class 1 resistance to damp heat; no brittleness or peeling of the coating after low-temperature (-20℃) testing; no stickiness or peeling of the coating after high-temperature (50℃) testing; visible light 60° gloss ≤ 5; and Class 1 resistance to mold. This material can be applied in hyperspectral / hyperspectral simulation and infrared camouflage fields.
[0116] This invention achieves decoupled control of spectral and thermal properties through a multi-layered composite structure designed on the surface of a fabric, as shown in the figure: 1) a high-reflectivity layer: a near-infrared high-reflectivity compensation layer composed of silicon dioxide, barium sulfate, and titanium dioxide; 2) a hyperspectral camouflage layer: a hyperspectral camouflage layer mimicking the spectrum of plants; and 3) a low-emissivity layer: a visible-light transparent / thermal-infrared low-emissivity silver nanowire film. The three layers work synergistically along the optical path to counteract the near-infrared absorption of the silver nanowires, maintaining full-band camouflage effectiveness. This solution overcomes the compatibility challenge between silver nanowires and hyperspectral camouflage through a hierarchical separation design, achieving for the first time that the material accurately simulates the spectral characteristics of plants in the visible-near-infrared band while maintaining a stable low emissivity in the thermal-infrared band, providing core technological support for next-generation multispectral stealth equipment.
[0117] This invention provides the preparation and application of a hyperspectral-thermal infrared compatible camouflage coating fabric that mimics the shape of broadleaf plant leaves. The coating fabric is made of, for example, a material that mimics the shape of broadleaf plant leaves. Figure 1 The structure consists of a textile fabric layer, a high-reflectivity layer, a hyperspectral camouflage layer, and a low-emissivity layer. The textile fabric can be a chemical or natural fiber fabric or its blended fabric. The hyperspectral camouflage layer mainly includes M-MIL-101(Cr), inorganic pigments, and crosslinking agents. The thermal infrared layer mainly includes silver nanowires and crosslinking agents. The high-reflectivity layer mainly includes silica, barium sulfate, titanium dioxide, and polyurethane adhesive.
