A thermally adaptive material configured to assume a lofted configuration and flat configuration in response to different temperatures. The thermally adaptive material includes an adaptive first textile layer with one or more sections of a first material that has a first thermal expansion coefficient and one or more sections of a second material disposed adjacent to the one or more sections of the first material, the one or more sections of the second material having a second thermal expansion coefficient that is different from the first thermal expansion coefficient. The thermally adaptive material also includes a second textile layer disposed opposing the adaptive first textile layer; a plurality of engaging portions between the first textile layer and second textile layer; and one or more cavities defined by the first and second layers that are generated while the adaptive textile is at least in a lofted configuration.

The invention relates to a dark thermoplastic polymer composition, which when formed into a film has an ultra-low heat buildup, is visibly opaque, and has a high NIR transmission. The dye system involves two or more IR transparent dyes that combine to produce a color having an L value of less than 40, preferably less than 30, and a heat buildup of less than 50° F., preferably less than 45° F. In one embodiment, the composition is jet black. The composition may be a free-standing film, or a capstock used over a substrate, preferably a white substrate.
