Abstract

Abstract : Next‐generation thermal control and shielding blankets for space vehicles are demonstrated by E. H. T. Teo and co‐workers using 3D graphene‐reinforced polyimide hybrids. The hybrid is space qualified and achieves outstanding thermal and electrical characteristics, exceeding nominal values by 1033% and 10 orders of magnitude, respectively. Its long‐term stability in space is extensively tested through ageing and mechanical deformation studies, in a ground‐based simulated space environment. On page 6425, this hybrid material is shown to provide excellent electrostatic discharge shielding protection with long‐term stability in harsh environments. Artwork by S. H. Tsang.
