MULTILAYER COAT Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: coating of radiation surfaces of space objects. SUBSTANCE: proposed multilayer coat is meant for use as temperature control coat of class of " solar reflector " with its application with the aid of adhesive layer on to outer surfaces, predominantly, radiation surfaces of space objects. Multilayer coat includes polymer backing with optical layer carrying threadlike and fibrous crystals of zinc oxide with reflecting power within interval of wave length λ = 0,3÷2,4 μm, deposited on it. Polymer backing should be elastic. EFFECT: diminished specific weight of coat, possibility of usage of coat for timely repair under conditions of space flight. 4 cl
