Military uniform camouflage

By the beginning of World War II, the Soviet Union also had a large stock of all types of poison substances excluding the organophosphorous ones. Documents kept in military archives say that over the period of the war Soviet military and political leaders let chemical forces undertake only chemical reconnaissance and decontamination of arms, uniforms and grounds. In addition, chemical forces could use flame-throwers and camouflage smokes. 

There are many applications where the physical properties of a textile substrate are combined with the electrical and shielding properties of polypyrrole. Thus polypyrrole-coated fabrics show excellent dissipation properties. In this way industrial uniforms where explosion-proof conditions or shielding fi om micro-waves are necessary can be fabricated, as well as the use of polypyrrole-coated filters where static charges could cause the explosion of flammable solvents. Other important applications are related to military equipment, as radar-absorbing sheets. The microwave response of those fabrics seems to be ideal for camouflage nets that avoid visual, near-infrared and radar detection. Textile fabrics have also applications in fiber-reinforced composite structures of different resins.
