In the present study, we focus into the infrared radiation (IR) absorption coefficients of several polymer types to propose a novel approach through the development of radiative-cooling polymeric films and composites. We will firstly describe the process of samples preparation. Afterwards, we will introduce the experimental setup employed for linear optical characterization in the infrared range along with the obtained experimental results. Finally, we will give details about the numerical model that we developed in order to evaluate the radiative cooling effectiveness of the different films.
