Material approach
ChamIR™ addresses the way a surface emits infrared radiation. The integration task is to connect the material or device response with the platform’s thermal conditions, controls, power constraints, and required operating behaviour.
Application examples are integration opportunities. Suitability and performance depend on evaluation for the specific use.
How it works
ChamIR™ uses electrically controlled material and device approaches to vary infrared emissivity. Emissivity describes how strongly a surface emits thermal radiation; changing it can change the apparent infrared signature without being equivalent to cooling the object.
The device, its electrical connections, protection layers, and control method need to be considered together. Start with the platform’s surface temperatures, available power, coverage, and desired response.
Characterize the response in the relevant infrared bands and operating conditions. Follow material measurements with a representative assembly to evaluate control, durability, and integration.
What shapes an evaluation
Bring the conditions that matter to your system. We can use them to frame a focused technical conversation.
What surface temperatures, operating states, and backgrounds define the application?
What interfaces, response behaviour, and available power should the system accommodate?
What limits apply to coverage, attachment, environmental protection, and repair?
Which infrared bands and test conditions should be used to assess the material and the integrated prototype?
