Abstract:Brass flakes and carbon-based particulates are effective obscurants in the infrared (IR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum; however, they are toxic and can cause respiratory problems and environmental concerns. There is a need to develop or identify nontoxic IR obscurants. This research was conducted to determine the potential of nanostructured particles as IR obscurants. Three commercial nanostructured particles were compared with two conventional particles and common obscurants. Experiments involved … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
