Abstract

The increase in surface temperature of an object occurs as a result of the absorption of solar energy, resulting in the accumulation of heat. The increase in temperature caused by solar radiation can lead to numerous harassment and pose challenges in different spheres of life. Thus, a great deal of energy is needed to maintain the appropriate body temperature. With the rapid development of modern industry, the issue of energy consumption has become amazing, and the problem of energy shortages has become increasingly prominent.

Energy conservation and consumption reduction have gradually attracted everyone's attention. So energy - saving materials and reduced consumption with excellent performance have become a hotspot for research.

Given the multiplicity of options available for thermal insulation materials, thermal insulation coatings have become increasingly popular because of their ability to improve the working environment and provide energy by reducing the accumulation of heat within coated objects. As well as cost-effectiveness, ease of use, across a variety of interactive materials. By integrating effective fillings of thermal insulation, known as filling, into the coating system, the resulting films are able to show a significant thermal insulation effect through mechanisms such as temperature, radiation or insulation. Therefore, the application of the insulating heat coatings leads to a significant reduction in body surface temperature. In this scenario, significant energy savings can be achieved by applying a temperature insulation layer to sun-prone objects. This approach reduces energy efficiency by reducing the need for refrigeration.

This paper reviews the main types of thermal insulation coatings at this stage and their evolution, briefly presents thermal insulation, and predicts the evolution of new thermal insulation coatings in the light of the current problems of thermal insulation coating.
