Abstract:
Disclosed is a method to produce composite materials, which contain customized mixes of nano- and/or micro-particles with tailored electromagnetic spectral properties, structural elements based thereon, in particular layers, but also bulk materials including inhomogeneous bulk materials. In some embodiments the IR-reflectivity is enhanced predominantly independently of reflectivity for visible wavelength. The enhanced IR-reflectivity is achieved by combining spectral properties from a plurality of nano- and/or micro-particles of distinct size distribution, shape distribution, chemical composition, crystal structure, and crystallinity distribution. This enables to approximate desired target spectra better than know solutions, which comprise only a single type of particles and/or an uncontrolled natural size distribution. Furthermore disclosed are methods of manufacturing such materials, including ceramics, clay, and concrete, as well as applications related to design and construction of buildings or other confined spaces.

Claim (Index 33):
A composite material, comprising:\n a plurality of distinct populations of nano- or micro-particles and/or of nano- or micro-cavities, a first population of said plurality of distinct populations comprising one or more of distinct size distributions, shape distributions, chemical compositions, crystal structures, and crystallinity distributions, relative to a second population of said plurality of distinct populations; and a carrier material, wherein a mixture of the first population and the second population is in the carrier material, wherein the composite material comprises a selected composition ratio of the first population to the second population, and a selected density of the mixture relative to the carrier material, such that a specific targeted broadband spectral reflectance at least within the visible (VIS) and Near Infrared (NIR) range is approximated as a result of interference effects between at least some of the nano- or micro-particles and/or nano- or micro-cavities of the plurality of distinct populations, wherein the specific targeted broadband spectral reflectance is different from that of each individual population within the plurality of populations and the carrier material.
