Application of Self-Adaption Camouflage Materials in the Entrance of Command Protection Engineering

Abstract:

In this paper, a series of infrared thermal self-adaption camouflage materials based on poly ((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)/poly (N, N-diethylacrylamide) (PDMAEMA/PDEA) were synthesized. The influence of this additive on the property of resulting PDEA materials was investigated and characterized. The interior morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the semi-IPN materials have interconnected porous network structures. Compared to PDEA, the semi-IPN materials exhibited excellent mutative values in response to an alternation of the temperature, and showed fast swelling and deswelling rates in response to temperature change, which suggests that these materials have potential application as thermal infrared camouflage materials and could self-adapt the thermal radiation of the objectives according to the temperature variation of ambient background.
