    Abstract: A selectively reflective construct, and a method for making the construct, are described. In one embodiment reflectance, transmission and absorption properties may be controlled in multiple electromagnetic bands. A construct is described comprising a) a thermally transparent, visually opaque substrate comprising a polymeric material and a colorant, and b) a thermally reflective layer comprising a low emissivity component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 23, 2014
    Assignee: W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.
