Synthesis of NanoTabular Particulates for IR Obscuration

通过与美国陆军埃奇伍德化学生物中心的机构间协议，颗粒材料产学研合作研究中心将研究和开发用于军事和国土安全应用的红外遮挡物。该项目通过实验验证了一个重要的理论预测，即2至12微米范围内的颗粒有效遮蔽红外辐射。这项工作的主要重点是这些纳米片状颗粒的生产。

Through an Interagency Agreement with the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Particulate Materials will research and develop infrared obscurants for use in military and homeland security applications.The project addresses an experimental validation of an important theoretical prediction of efficient obscuration of infrared radiation with particulates in the 2 to 12 micron range. The major focus of the work is on the production of these nano-tabular particles.
