It was found that the structure of FC carbon filler significantly affects transmission and reflection of IR radiation. The penetrating power of FC is higher the more ordered the structure of the filler. The lowest transmission of IR radiation is observed in FC with a filler characterized by a macropore structure; microporosity has almost no effect on the penetrating power of FC. The carbon filler significantly affects the reflectivity of FC in the IR region: the intensity of reflection of carbon-containing film materials is one order of magnitude less than for films with no filler. The reflectivity of FC is higher the more perfect the structure of the carbon-containing filler is.PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
