This composite microcapsule structure had low infrared OR） emissivity and maintained a constant temperature, and could be used in IR stealth applications. The eiectroless copper layer formation and its micro-appearance, and the effect of the copper layer on the IR emissivity and thermal properties of the composite microcapsules were investigated. The IR emissivity of the composite microcapsules at wavelengths of 1-14 μm gradually decreased with increasing copper mass on the surface. After formation of an integrated copper layer, the rate of IR emissivity decrease was lower. This is because the copper coating improves the surface conductivity of the UFP; a high conductivity results in high reflectivity, which leads to a decrease in IR emissivity. The lowest IR emissivity achieved was 0.68. The phase-change enthalpy of the composite microcapsules decreased with increasing amount of copper coated on the surface because of the high density of copper. When the mass increase of the UFP after electroless copper plating was about 300%, the composite microcapsules had low IR emissivity （about 0.8） and a high phase-change enthalpy （80J/g）.展开更多

The absorber was fabricated with a low-infrared emissive layer at the top, a microwave-absorbing layer in the middle, and a reflective layer at the bottom, which were separated by polymethyl methacrylate plates. The absorber showed an average visible transmittance of 55%, infrared emissivity of ~0.37, and effective microwave absorption bandwidth of 32.1 GHz with a total thickness of 3.0 mm. Furthermore,microwave absorption exhibited wide-angle stability and polarization insensitivity characteristics. The mechanism of microwave attenuation was further explored through effective electromagnetic parameters as well as surface current, electric field, magnetic field, and energy loss density distributions. The experimental results were consistent with those of the simulations and calculations, indicating the potential of the designed metamaterial absorber for future applications in multispectral compatible camouflage.展开更多
