An investigation of sputtered Ni-Cr selective surfaces deposited on polyami
de film is reported. The coating surface is composed of four layers of thin
films which served as adhesion layer, infrared reflective layer, absorbing
layer and antireflection layer respectively. The solar absorptance is 0.92
-0.93 and normal emittance is 0.06 at 60 degrees C. The results of thermal
test showed that the coating is stable for use under a temperature of 200 d
egrees C. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
