Abstract

The CuO nanoparticles were deposited onto muscovite flakes using sol-gel methods. The thermal, conductivity, optic and structural properties of obtained pigments (CuO/Muscovite) were studied. Hence, the prepared pigments were characterized via using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis). The results show that CuO was coated on the surface of muscovite flakes uniformly. The obtained pigments show the more stable thermal properties than those obtained from undeposited flakes. The CuO/Muscovite pigments showed high ultraviolet shielding performance. In addition that CuO/Muscovite pigments exhibited higher near-infrared (NIR) reflectance than those of pure-CuO.
