In this work, a silver-metalized polyimide photochromic composite foam is successfully fabricated by self-activating electroless silver-plating on the surface of the polyimide skeleton and followed by applying a photochromic coating on the upper surface. The effective loading of silver nanoparticles facilitates the rational construction of a conductive network in foam, improving the efficient dissipation of incident electromagnetic waves. In addition, the interconnected conductive network successfully endows it with an excellent Joule heating capability, which can be employed to effectively remove ice and/or mitigate the impact of water vapor on radar stealth performance in cold and wet weather. Besides, the low emissivity silver plating combined with superior thermal insulation of foam enables the material with excellent infrared stealth performance. Moreover, the modulation of self-adaptive photochromic coating brings a prominent visual stealth performance under different sunlight backgrounds. As a result, such excellent radar and infrared stealth performance combined with the adaptive color-switching capability provides the foam with great potential for preparing compatible multi-band materials.展开更多

The performance of the water curtain ...The water curtain spray system of the ship helps reduce surface thermal load and lowers thermal infrared radiation, notably enhancing the stealth and survivability of naval ships. The performance of the water curtain spray system is largely influenced by the density of the nozzles and their installation height. Therefore, a test platform was established to investigate these critical influencing factors, employing an orthogonal design methodology for the experimental study. Specifically, the study evaluated the effects of varying distances to the steel plate target and different injection heights on the cooling performance of the system. Results demonstrate that using one nozzle per 4 square meters of the ship's surface area effectively lowers the surface temperature, bringing it closer to the ambient background temperature. This nozzle configuration creates irregular infrared heat patterns, which complicate the task for infrared detectors to discern the ship's outline, thus enhancing its infrared stealth. Additionally, maintaining the nozzle installation height within 0.6 m to prevent the temperature difference between the steel plate and the background temperature from exceeding 4 K. Moreover, as the infrared imaging distance increases from 3 to 9 m, the temperature difference measured by the thermocouple and the infrared imager increases by 141.27%. Furthermore, with the increase in infrared imaging distance, the infrared temperature of the target steel plate approaches the background temperature, indicating improved detectability. These findings have significantly enhanced the stealth capabilities of naval ships, maximizing their immunity to infrared-guided weapon attacks. Moreover, their importance in improving the survivability of ships on the water surface cannot be underestimated.展开更多

文摘Lightweight infrared stealth and absorption-dominant electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials are highly desirable in areas of aerospace,weapons,military and wearable electronics.Herein,lightweight and high-efficiency dual-functional segregated nanocomposite foams with microcellular structures are developed for integrated infrared stealth and absorption-dominant EMI shielding via the efficient and scalable supercritical CO_(2)(SC-CO_(2))foaming combined with hydrogen bonding assembly and compression molding strategy.The obtained lightweight segregated nanocomposite foams exhibit superior infrared stealth performances benefitting from the synergistic effect of highly effective thermal insulation and low infrared emissivity,and outstanding absorption-dominant EMI shielding performances attributed to the synchronous construction of microcellular structures and segregated structures.Particularly,the segregated nanocomposite foams present a large radiation temperature reduction of 70.2℃ at the object temperature of 100℃,and a significantly improved EM wave absorptivity/reflectivity(A/R)ratio of 2.15 at an ultralow Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) content of 1.7 vol%.Moreover,the segregated nanocomposite foams exhibit outstanding working reliability and stability upon dynamic compression cycles.The results demonstrate that the lightweight and high-efficiency dual-functional segregated nanocomposite foams have excellent potentials for infrared stealth and absorption-dominant EMI shielding applications in aerospace,weapons,military and wearable electronics.

文摘The development of multifunctional and efficient electromagnetic wave absorbing materials is a challenging research hotspot.Here,the magnetized Ni flower/MXene hybrids are successfully assembled on the surface of melamine foam(MF)through electrostatic self-assembly and dip-coating adsorption process,realizing the integration of microwave absorption,infrared stealth,and flame retardant.Remarkably,the Ni/MXene-MF achieves a minimum reflection loss(RLmin)of−62.7 dB with a corresponding effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 6.24 GHz at 2 mm and an EAB of 6.88 GHz at 1.8 mm.Strong electromagnetic wave absorption is attributed to the three-dimensional magnetic/conductive networks,which provided excellent impedance matching,dielectric loss,magnetic loss,interface polarization,and multiple attenuations.In addition,the Ni/MXene-MF endows low density,excellent heat insulation,infrared stealth,and flame-retardant functions.This work provided a new development strategy for the design of multifunctional and efficient electromagnetic wave absorbing materials.

文摘Traditional stealth materials do not fulfill the requirements of high absorption for radar waves and low emissivity for infrared waves.Furthermore,they can be detected by various technologies,considerably threatening weapon safety.Therefore,a stealth material compatible with radar and infrared was designed based on the photonic bandgap characteristics of photonic crystals.The radar stealth lay-er(bottom layer)is a composite of carbonyl iron/silicon dioxide/epoxy resin,and the infrared stealth layer(top layer)is a 1D photonic crystal with alternately and periodically stacked germanium and silicon nitride.Through composition optimization and structural adjust-ment,the effective absorption bandwidth of the compatible stealth material with a reflection loss of less than-10 dB has reached 4.95 GHz.The average infrared emissivity of the proposed design is 0.1063,indicating good stealth performance.The theoretical analysis proves that photonic crystals with this structural design can produce infrared waves within the photonic bandgap,achieving high radar wave transmittance and low infrared emissivity.Infrared stealth is achieved without affecting the absorption performance of the radar stealth layer,and the conflict between radar and infrared stealth performance is resolved.This work aims to promote the application of photonic crystals in compatible stealth materials and the development of stealth technology and to provide a design and theoretical found-ation for related experiments and research.

文摘In this paper,we experimentally demonstrate a non-volatile switchable infrared stealth metafilm based on high temperature resistant metal Molybdenum(Mo)and phase change material Ge2Sb2Te5(GST).By controlling the phase state of GST,the switch between the infrared stealth and the non-stealth states can be realized.Specifically,when the GST is in the amorphous state,the emissivity of the film in the 3-5μm and 8-14μm atmospheric window band is suppressed and can realize infrared stealth,together with a high absorption peak of 94%at 6.08μm,which enables radiative heat dissipation;While for the crystalline state of the GST,the average emissivity is more than 0.7 in the band of 8-14μm,and the infrared stealth function cannot be realized.When the background temperature is 100°C,the temperature difference between the two samples reaches as high as 28°C under an infrared thermal imager.Therefore,our proposed metafilm can flexibly regulate the infrared thermal radiation of the target so as to realize the switch between the infrared stealth and non-stealth state.We have fabricated the metafilm on both hard and flexible substrates.Our work holds profound significance for the study of dynamic thermal radiation control and it is set to pave the way for the practical implementation of intelligent infrared stealth technology.

文摘The investigation of absorption-led shielding mechanisms has now made practical progress as a result of the concept of green EM shielding.The extant studies primarily concentrate on the introduction of mag-netic particles into the system,with the objective of enhancing the absorption rate(A)through dielectric-magnetic modulation for absorption-led electromagnetic shielding.In contrast,this paper presents a novel approach whereby PVA,glycerol,and MXene are combined into an organohydrogel(PMG)with oriented pores.This results in the creation of a non-magnetic medium that exhibits high absorption loss in mul-tiple bands,thereby establishing a novel shielding system.The PMG20-3 organohydrogel(0.78 wt%MX-ene)has a shielding performance in the X-band of 42.34 dB(A/R=1).In the terahertz band,the organic hydrogel gel exhibits an absorption rate of 99.9%,a performance that exceeds that of the majority of previously reported systems.The PMG gel displays remarkable flexibility and strength,with a hysteresis return line that remains stable under 1000 compression cycles.Additionally,it offers versatile sensing capabilities and infrared stealth.The findings of this study offer novel insights that may facilitate the accelerated utilization of innovative multifunctional and environmentally conscious electromagnetic in-terference(EMI)shielding materials.

文摘Controlling the orientation of two-dimensional MXene within layered films is essential to optimize or tune their mechanical properties and electromagnetic interference shielding(EMI)performance,but achieving the high orientation MXene layers on an industrial scale remains a challenging goal.In this paper,a scalable layer-by-layer blade coating(LbLBC)method was employed to fabricate highly oriented MXene/polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)films.During the LbLBC process,MXene/PVA colloid suffered a strong shearing effect,which induced the ordered alignment of MXene nanosheets along the direction of the blade movement.The orientation of MXene can be effectively adjusted by changing the scraping gap of LbLBC,achieving a maximum Herman orientation factor f of 0.81.As a result,the mechanical properties and EMI performance of the as-prepared MXene/PVA films are in direct proportion to their orientation,with the optimal values of tensile strength of 145.5 MPa,fracture strain of 19.6%,toughness of 17.7 MJ·m^(−3),and EMI shielding effectiveness of 36.7 dB.Furthermore,the inherently low mid-infrared(mid-IR)emissivity of MXene,combined with the densely oriented structure affords the composite films with IR stealth,resulting in a substantial decrease from 150 to 66.1℃in the radiative temperature of a surface.Conclusively,these scalable MXene/PVA films exhibit remarkable potential for integration into the next generation of multifunctional protective camouflage materials.

文摘Researching and manufacturing materials that possess both electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and infrared stealth capabilities is of great significance.Herein,an ultrathin polyimide-based nonwoven fabric with low-reflection EMI shielding/infrared stealth performance is successfully fabricated by in-situ loading of Fe_(3)O_(4)/Ag nanoparticles on the surface of polyimide(PI)fiber(PFA),and followed by bonding with a commercial Cu/Ni mesh.The synergistic assembly of PFA and Cu/Ni promotes the rational construction of hierarchical impedance matching,inducing electromagnetic waves(EMW)to enter the composite and be dissipated as much as possible.Meanwhile,the existence of Cu/Ni mesh on back of PFA facilitates the formation of electromagnetic resonance and destructive interference of EMW reflected from composite,leading to a lowerreflectivity(0.26)EMI shielding performance of 58 dB within 24–40 GHz at a thinner thickness(430μm).More importantly,the fluffy PFA nonwoven fabric and metal Cu/Ni mesh endow composite with good thermal insulation and low infrared emissivity,resulting in excellent infrared stealth performance in various environments.As a result,such excellent compatibility makes it possible to become a promising defense material to be applied in military tent for preventing electromagnetic and infrared radiation.

文摘With the development of detection and identification technology,infrared stealth is of great value to realize anti-reconnaissance detection of military targets.At present,infrared stealth materials generally have deficiency,such as complex structure,inconvenient radiation regulation and cumbersome preparation steps,which greatly limit the practical application of infrared stealth materials.In view of the above deficiency of infrared stealth materials,we proposed a kind of multilayer film for infrared stealth using VO2thermochromism based on the temperature response mechanism of tuna to adjust its color,and through the intelligent reversible radiation regulation mechanism to meet the infrared stealth requirements of tanks in different actual scenes.The results show that when the temperature increases from 300 K to 373 K,the peak emissivity of the film decreases from 94%to 20%in the 8-14μm band after structural optimization,which can realize the infrared stealth of the high temperature target in the 8-14μm band.The average emissivity of the multilayer film for infrared stealth at3-5μm and 8-14μm band can be reduced to 34%and 27%at 373 K,and the peak emissivity at 5-8μm band can reach 65%,realizing dual-band infrared stealth in the 3-5μm and 8-14μm bands and heat dissipation in the 5-8μm band.The multilayer film for infrared stealth based on VO2thermochromism designed by the authors can meet the characteristics of simple film structure,convenient radiation regulation and simple preparation.

文摘With the accelerated development of modern detection and communication technology,the multifunctional wearable materials with excellent electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding,infrared stealth,and human monitoring for improving military combat capability have received extensive attention.In this work,the lightweight melamine foam(MF)@silver nanowires(AgNWs)-iron nanowires(FeNWs)(AgFe-MF)was fabricated by a vacuum-assisted dip-coating method.Due to the porous structure and synergistic electrical and magnetic losses,this lightweight(0.115 g/cm^(3))composite foam with an ultra-low filler content(0.62 vol.%)exhibited an ideal EMI shielding efficiency of 38.4 dB.On the other hand,the AgFe-MF realized a powerful multifunctional integration.The surface saturation temperature of the AgFe-MF reached 94.2℃under a low applied voltage of 1.8 V and remained extremely fast heating and cooling response and terrific working stability,resulting in excellent infrared stealth and camouflage effects.Furthermore,taking virtues of the elastic porous conductive architecture,the AgFe-MF was utilized as a piezoresistive sensor exhibiting board compressive interval of 0–1.62 kPa(50%strain)with a good sensitivity of 0.57 kPa^(−1).This work will provide new ideas and insights for developing multifunctional wearable devices in the fields of EMI shielding,thermal management,and piezoresistive sensing.

文摘Infrared stealth technology allows targets to evade detection by thermal infrared detection and plays an important role in the defense industry and military.However,current research and development of infrared stealth materials focuses only on reducing infrared emissivity or controlling the surface temperature of an object,and few studies combine the two.Therefore,in this paper,vanadium dioxide/polyethylene glycol/polyacrylonitrile(VO_(2)/PEG/PAN)composite nanofibrous films were fabricated using the electrospinning technique with PAN as the matrix,PEG as the temperature-regulated material and VO_(2)as the infrared emissivity material.The composite nanofibrous films not only possessed excellent thermal stability and mechanical properties but also had good thermal regulation and adjustable infrared emissivity.The latent heat value of the first phase change was 40.42 J g^(-1)and the latent heat value of the second phase change was 4.27 J g^(-1)when the content of VO_(2)was 40wt%;more importantly,the infrared emissivity was 0.16 at 90℃.Therefore,the composite nanofibrous films could help achieve good infrared stealth and thermal camouflage performance for high-temperature targets through effective thermal buffering and infrared emissivity modulation capabilities.With the characteristics of ultra-lightweight,flexibility,foldability,adjustable shape,strong thermal stability,excellent mechanical properties,thermal self-regulation,and adjustable infrared emissivity,the prepared VO_(2)/PEG/PAN composite nanofibrous films present great potential for application in infrared stealth and thermal camouflage of new military equipment.

文摘Designing and manufacturing compatible multi-band stealth materials remains a great challenge. In this work, a silver-metalized polyimide photochromic composite foam is successfully fabricated by self-activating electroless silver-plating on the surface of the polyimide skeleton and followed by applying a photochromic coating on the upper surface. The effective loading of silver nanoparticles facilitates the rational construction of a conductive network in foam, improving the efficient dissipation of incident electromagnetic waves. In addition, the interconnected conductive network successfully endows it with an excellent Joule heating capability, which can be employed to effectively remove ice and/or mitigate the impact of water vapor on radar stealth performance in cold and wet weather. Besides, the low emissivity silver plating combined with superior thermal insulation of foam enables the material with excellent infrared stealth performance. Moreover, the modulation of self-adaptive photochromic coating brings a prominent visual stealth performance under different sunlight backgrounds. As a result, such excellent radar and infrared stealth performance combined with the adaptive color-switching capability provides the foam with great potential for preparing compatible multi-band materials.

文摘The water curtain spray system of the ship helps reduce surface thermal load and lowers thermal infrared radiation, notably enhancing the stealth and survivability of naval ships. The performance of the water curtain spray system is largely influenced by the density of the nozzles and their installation height. Therefore, a test platform was established to investigate these critical influencing factors, employing an orthogonal design methodology for the experimental study. Specifically, the study evaluated the effects of varying distances to the steel plate target and different injection heights on the cooling performance of the system. Results demonstrate that using one nozzle per 4 square meters of the ship's surface area effectively lowers the surface temperature, bringing it closer to the ambient background temperature. This nozzle configuration creates irregular infrared heat patterns, which complicate the task for infrared detectors to discern the ship's outline, thus enhancing its infrared stealth. Additionally, maintaining the nozzle installation height within 0.6 m to prevent the temperature difference between the steel plate and the background temperature from exceeding 4 K. Moreover, as the infrared imaging distance increases from 3 to 9 m, the temperature difference measured by the thermocouple and the infrared imager increases by 141.27%. Furthermore, with the increase in infrared imaging distance, the infrared temperature of the target steel plate approaches the background temperature, indicating improved detectability. These findings have significantly enhanced the stealth capabilities of naval ships, maximizing their immunity to infrared-guided weapon attacks. Moreover, their importance in improving the survivability of ships on the water surface cannot be underestimated.

文摘The development of stretchable conductors with high deformation,conductivity,and thermal conductivity using liquid metal(LM)has sparked widespread interest in the fields of flexible electronics,electromagnetic interference(EMI),and multifunctional materi-als.However,fabricating desirable shielding materials by directly coating LMs on soft polymer substrates remains a challenge because of the huge surface tension and weak wettability of LMs.In this study,Ga-based composite paste is prepared from a mixture of Ga and dia-mond nonmetallic particles through ultrasonic fragmentation.At various temperatures,the resulting LM composite putty(LMP)exhibits soft and hard properties and can thus be molded into specific shapes according to application needs.In addition,the composite can be eas-ily coated onto polymer substrates,such as thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU)elastomer.The fabricated LMP–TPU exhibits an impress-ive shape deformation capacity of 1100%,demonstrating exceptional tensile properties and achieving electromagnetic interference–shielding effectiveness of up to 52 dB.Furthermore,it retains an ultrahigh conductivity of 20000 S/m,even under a strain of 600%.This feature further makes it a highly competitive multifunctional material.

文摘Although multifunctional electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with ultrahigh electromagnetic wave absorption are highly required to solve increasingly serious electromagnetic radiation and pollution and meet multi-scenario applications,EMI shielding materials usually cause a lot of reflection and have a single function.To realize the broadband absorption-dominated EMI shielding via absorption-reflection-reabsorption mechanisms and the interference cancelation effect,multifunctional asymmetric bilayer aerogels are designed by sequential printing of a MXene-graphene oxide(MG)layer with a MG emulsion ink and a conductive MXene layer with a MXene ink and subsequent freeze-drying for generating and solidifying numerous pores in the aerogels.The top MG layer of the asymmetric bilayer aerogel optimizes impedance matching and achieves re-absorption,while the bottom MXene layer enhances the reflection of the incident electromagnetic waves.As a result,the asymmetric bilayer aerogel achieves an average absorption coefficient of 0.95 in the X-band and shows the tunable absorption ability to electromagnetic wave in the ultrawide band from 8.2 to 40 GHz.Finite element simulations substantiate the effectiveness of the asymmetric bilayer aerogel for electromagnetic wave absorption.The multifunctional bilayer aerogels exhibit hydrophobicity,thermal insulation and Joule heating capacities and are efficient in solar-thermal/electric heating,infrared stealth,and clean-up of spilled oil.

文摘With the rapid development of electronic detective techniques,there is an urgent need for broadband(from microwave to infrared)stealth of aerospace equipment.However,achieving effective broadband stealth primarily relies on the composite of multi-layer coatings of different materials,while realizing broadband stealth with a single material remains a significant challenge.Herein,we reported a highly compact MXene film with aligned nanosheets through a continuous centrifugal spraying strategy.The film exhibits an exceptional electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of 45 d B in gigahertz band(8.2-40 GHz)and 59 d B in terahertz band(0.2-1.6 THz)at a thickness of 2.25μm,owing to the high conductivity(1.03×10^(6)S m^(-1)).Moreover,exceptionally high specific shielding effectiveness of 1.545×10^(6)dB cm^(2)g^(-1)has been demonstrated by the film,which is the highest value reported for shielding films.Additionally,the film exhibits an ultra-low infrared emissivity of 0.1 in the wide-range infrared band(2.5-16.0μm),indicating its excellent infrared stealth performance for day-/nighttime outdoor environments.Moreover,the film demonstrates efficient electrothermal performance,including a high saturated temperature(over 120℃ at 1.0 V),a high heating rate(4.4℃s^(-1)at 1.0 V),and a stable and uniform heating distribution.Therefore,this work provides a promising strategy for protecting equipment from multispectral electromagnetic interference and inhibiting infrared detection.

文摘According to the basic infrared stealth mechanism of low infrared emissivity powders,the ZAO powder materials were prepared by liquid coprecipitation method,and the starting materials were Zn( NO3) 6H2O and Al( NO3) 39H2O. The process parameters were obtained,and the relationship between technology parameters and infrared emissivity was investigated. The temperature of thermal treatment,crystal structure and surface micrograph of ZAO powder was analyzed by the help of TG-DTA,XRD and SEM. The infrared stealth performance of ZAO powder was studied by IR-2 emissivity spectroscopy. Results showed that the infrared emissivity was the lowest when pH was 8. 0,calcination temperature was 1100 ℃,calcination time was 2 h,and the Al2O3doping content was 3% ( mass percentage) . The crystal structure of doped ZAO powder was lead-zinc, and there exists distortion of crystal lattice in nanocrystalline ZnO. The average particle size was 10 μm. The lowest infrared emissivity reached to 0. 61 at between 8 μm and 14 μm. It means that the ZAO powders will be excellent infrared stealthy materials.

文摘Sn_(1−x)Er_(x)O_(2)(x=0%,8%,16%,24%)micro/nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning combined with heat treatment using erbium nitrate,stannous chloride and polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)as raw materials.The target products were characterized by thermogravimetric analyzer,X-ray diffrotometer,fourier transform infrared spectrometer,scanning electron microscope,spectrophotometer and infrared emissivity tester,and the effects of Er^(3+)doping on its infrared and laser emissivity were studied.At the same time,the Sn_(1−x)Er_(x)O_(2)(x=0%,16%)doping models were constructed based on the first principles of density functional theory,and the related optoelectronic properties such as their energy band structure,density of states,reflectivity and dielectric constant were analyzed,and further explained the mechanism of Er^(3+)doping on SnO_(2)infrared emissivity and laser absorption from the point of electronic structure.The results showed that after calcination at 600℃,single rutile type SnO_(2)was formed,and the crystal structure was not changed by doping Er^(3+).The calcined products showed good fiber morphology,and the average fiber diameter was 402 nm.The infrared emissivity and resistivity of the samples both decreased first and then increased with the increase of Er^(3+)doping amount.When x=16%,the infrared emis-sivity of the sample was at least 0.71;and Er^(3+)doping can effectively reduce the reflectivity of SnO_(2)at 1.06μm and 1.55μm,when x=16%,its reflectivity at 1.06μm and 1.55μm are 50.5%and 40%,respectively,when x=24%,the reflectivity at 1.06μm and 1.55μm wavelengths are 47.3%and 42.1%,respectively.At the same time,the change of carrier concentration and electron transition before and after Er^(3+)doping were described by first-principle calculation,and the regulation mechanism of infrared emissivity and laser reflectivity was explained.This study provides a certain experimental and theoretical basis for the development of a single-type,light-weight and easily prepared infrared and laser compatible-stealth material.
