abstract = "This research considers a possibility to enhance the mechanical and spectrophotometric properties of a military camouflage cotton textile by applying a nano silver/poly(vinyl butyral), PVB, impregnation. Silver is known for its unique optical, electrical, thermal properties and antimicrobial activity[1]. PVB is chosen as a good impregnating matrix, being a thermoplastic elastomer with good adhesion behavior, resistant to wetting [2]. Impregnated fabric samples were examined regarding spectrophotometric properties and mechanical abrasion resistance. To achieve low visibility, besides being painted to match the colors of the environment, a surface must scatter light, so it should have a matte, low gloss coating [3, 4]. Diffuse reflectance and gloss are related, and from a spectral point of view, scattering properties are relevant for surface appearance [5]. Certain nanostructures may alter this feature.",
