Representatives of the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan have shown a new car paint that reflects the sun's rays and thus reduces the effect of thermal energy on the body and interior of the car.
The company believes that this will allow drivers to spend less energy on air conditioning systems, increasing the overall level of comfort.
Many researchers have long worked to create protective paint for cars with a cooling effect that will help to "cool" the car. Engineers at the Nissan Research Center have developed one of these covers. The new paint uses the "radiative cooling" principle and contains metamaterials that help reflect the sun's rays more effectively.
The paint coating thickness developed by the Nissan research center is approximately 120 microns, approximately six times thicker than conventional automotive paint used in the modern automotive industry.
So before the paint goes into mass production, Nissan must find a way to reduce its thickness while maintaining performance.
