The Effects of Using Some Common White Pigments on Thermal and Aesthetic Performances of Pigmented Coatings

A coated surface with high reflectance in the near infrared (NIR) region and low reflectance in the visible (VIS) region can both stay cool in the sun and retain its appearance by reducing the glare of reflected sunlight. To design such coatings, an optimization method that embraces both thermal and...
