MXene‐Enabled Pneumatic Multiscale Shape Morphing for Adaptive, Programmable and Multimodal Radar‐infrared Compatible Camouflage
Nanjing University · Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Abstract
Abstract Achieving radar‐infrared compatible camouflage with dynamic adaptability has been a long‐sought goal, but faces significant challenges owing to the limited dispersion relations of conventional material systems operating in different wavelength ranges. Here, this work proposes the concept of pneumatic multiscale shape morphing and design a periodically arranged pneumatic unit consisting of MXene‐based morphable conductors and intake platforms. During gas actuation, the morphable conductor transforms centimeter‐scale 2D flat sheets into 3D balloon shapes to enhance microwave absorption behavior, and also reconfigures micrometer‐scale MXene wrinkles into smooth planes in combination with cavity‐induced…
