Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the functional operational
properties of multilayer coatings for use in military technology in the
field of masking. The developed coating systems are characterized by
operational innovation due to their small thickness when compared to
those currently used by global defence contractors while maintaining
the re-emission coefficient required for camouflage to be effective in
the optical range. Their service life and durability were assessed in
terms of functional properties based on measurements of attenuation
coefficients, surface geometric structure, adhesion, specular gloss and
colour parameters. The tests were carried out for coating systems
fabricated in five variants: a two-layer paint system (SP1), a threelayer paint system (SP2), a laser-modified three-layer paint system
(SP3) and a four-layer paint system in two variants (SP4 and SP5),
with the former being modified with carbon nanotubes and the later −
with spherical iron. Coating systems are characterized by low
roughness and good adhesion and have appropriate attenuation
coefficients for radar waves. Due to their operational properties, the
developed coating systems can be used on armaments and military
equipment.
