New pigment opens unimaginable possibilities

A brand new type of pigment is the result of the Swedish Armed Forces' SEK 100-million nanomaterials investment. The pigment serves as a highly effective form of camouflage. It is also able to deflect infrared solar rays, which means it has the potential to dramatically reduce heating, for example in buildings and motor vehicles. Experts at the Institute for Surface Chemistry (YKI) have developed the technology in cooperation with commercial enterprises and a university.» Read more...
