Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 10, further comprising: depositing a second sub-layer of the IR-reflecting material on top of and immediately adjacent to the first sub-layer and prior to depositing the layer of the IR-transparent elastomeric material, such that the second sub-layer comprises a plurality of nanostructures characterized by a nanostructure height, and such that depositing the layer of the IR-transparent elastomeric material buries the plurality of nanostructures into the IR-transparent elastomeric matrix, thus anchoring the first sub-layer into the IR-transparent elastomeric matrix to form the composite comprising the IR-reflecting material securely embedded into an IR-transparent elastomeric matrix.
