  • Infrared reflective visually colored metallic compositions
    Patent number: 6468647
    Abstract: Infrared reflective visually colored metal substrates or metal-coated particles are prepared by burnishing colored pigments into the metal. Proper selection of the pigment allows for intense visual color without degradation of the infrared reflective properties. The resulting visually colored infrared reflective composition may be utilized in a variety of applications, such as coatings, fabrics, tapes, and face paint, to provide infrared signature control as well as visual camouflage.

  • Electromagnetic radiation absorptive composition containing inorganic coated microparticles
    Patent number: 5892476
    Abstract: A strong lightweight composition containing inorganic coated microparticles which, when dispersed in a binder, produce a matrix having broad band absorption properties for electromagnetic radiation in the infrared and microwave regions and is useful as a thin coating or as a structural composite material in various applications for multispectral absorbers. The microparticles have a mean diameter of from 1 to 500 microns and are coated with the reaction product of a metal and a nonmetal.
