Abstract
Learning from nature in terms of the camouflage used by species has enabled the continuous development of camouflage technologies for the visible to mid-infrared bands to prevent objects from being detected by sophisticated multispectral detectors, thereby avoiding potential threats. However, achieving visible and infrared dual-band camouflage without destructive interference while also realizing rapidly responsive adaptivity to the varying background remains challenging for high-demand camouflage systems. Here, we report a reconfigurable mechano-responsive soft film for dual-band camouflage. Its modulation ranges for visible transmittance and longwave infrared emittance can be up to 66.3% and 21%, respectively. Rigorous optical simulations are performed to elucidate the modulation mechanism of dual-band camouflage and identify the optimal wrinkles required to achieve the goal. The broadband modulation capability (figure of merit) of the camouflage film can be as high as 2.91. Other advantages, such as simple fabrication and a fast response, make this film a potential candidate for dual-band camouflage that can adapt to diverse environments.
