abstract = "PVB is a flexible but tough polymer of excellent optical clarity and transparence, and due to that it has a wide application in different coatings and in laminated glass industry. Epoxy resin has good mechanical resistance and it is also applied in coatings, but also as a binder in composites. In this research a possibility was examined to improve thermal resistance and spectrophotometric properties of thin film coatings of PVB and epoxy modified with addition of 10 wt.% of PVB, by addition of small concentrations of tungsten disulfide nanotubes and nanoparticles. Coatings were applied on glass plates by solvent-casting technique: PVB and epoxy/PVB were dissolved in ethanol in which previously nanostructures were deagglomerated and dispersed using ultrasonic probe. Inorganic fullerene-like nanoparticles of tungsten disulphide (IF-WS2) were added in concentration 1 wt.% and nanotubes (INT-WS2) in concentration 0.3 wt.%. Dispersion of tungsten disulfide nanostructures was observed using scanning electron microscope. Thermal resistance was examined by differential scanning calorimetry. The following spectrophotometric properties were examined: diffuse reflection and transmition, using spectrophotometer Shimadzu UV 3600 with an integrating sphere and UV Probe programme package, and specular gloss, using glossmeter Elcometer 480, under angles 20°, 60° and 85°. Observed results have indicated that new composite coatings with nanostructures have enhanced thermal resistance and camouflage properties for potential military applications.",
