THERMOSTATIC MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64G1/58 B32B5/24 D02G3/12 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space materials science and optical hardware, particularly, to thermostatic materials intended for space structure passive thermal control systems. Thermostatic material comprises outer facing layer of nonwoven material with electrically conducting threads interlaced in lengthwise and crosswise directions. Substrate of polyamide film metalised on inner surface is introduced in thermostatic material. Outer facing layer interwoven electrically conducting threads produced by twisting metal 30-50 mcm-thick wire with polymer thread of linear density of 1.5-11 tex and interweaving with thread density of 6-12 g/cm² as to warp and weft. Thermostatic layer based on polyimides or polyether imides, or polyethers, or polysulfone is arranged between substrate and facing layer.

EFFECT: decreased weight of thermostatic material.
