Application Filed: November 09, 2006
مستخلص: The present invention concerns a low-emissive paint comprising metal particles, a binder and a solvent. The metal particles consist of a metal with lower electro-negativity than 1.9 but higher than 1.1 or a mixture of such metals, and the binder consists of polyaniline—PANI—or a polymer where a thiophene group is included in the chain.

Claim: 1. A method for reducing thermal emissions from a surface in the infrared wavelength range of 2.5-25 μm, which comprises applying a paint to the surface, the paint including metal particles, the metal particles being made from a metal selected from the group consisting of aluminium, zinc, iron, magnesium, beryllium, titanium, manganese, gallium, and chromium, in a binder solution containing poly(3,4-ethenedioxythiophene), polystyrene sulfonate, and water, the metal particles being 0.1-25% by weight of the paint.
Claim: 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the metal is selected from the group consisting of aluminium, zinc, magnesium, beryllium, titanium, manganese, and chromium, or a mixture of metals selected from said group.
Claim: 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal particles are 5-15% by weight of the paint.
Claim: 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the metal is aluminium.
Claim: 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal is aluminium.
Claim: 6. A method for reducing thermal emissions from a surface in the infrared wavelength range of 2.5-25 μm, which comprises applying a paint to the surface, the paint including nickel particles, in a binder solution containing poly(3,4-ethenedioxythiophene), polystyrene sulfonate, and water, the nickel particles being 0.1-25% by weight of the paint.
Claim: 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the nickel is present in the amount of 5-15% by weight of the paint.
