A Lightweight, Elastic, and Thermally Insulating Stealth Foam With High Infrared‐Radar Compatibility
Nanyang Technological University · Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Abstract
Abstract The development of infrared‐radar compatible materials/devices is challenging because the requirements of material properties between infrared and radar stealth are contradictory. Herein, a composite of poly(3, 4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) coated melamine foam is designed to integrate the advantages of the dual materials and the created heterogeneous interface between them. The as‐designed PEDOT:PSS@melamine composite shows excellent mechanical properties, outstanding thermal insulation, and improved thermal infrared stealth performance. The relevant superb radar stealth performance including the minimum reflection loss value of −57.57 dB, the optimum ultra‐wide…
