Problems solved by technology

However, since the two protective materials belong to different material categories and have very different performances, when carrying out space debris and radiation environment protection, different materials are selected for protection design, which greatly increases the use of space environment protection materials in the space station. weight quota
[0007] However, there is currently no multifunctional protective material for the space environment that can well meet the needs of the space station, which can significantly reduce the weight of the space protection material and significantly improve the safety of the space station.

Abstract

The invention discloses a multifunctional protective material for a space environment of a space station. On the basis of a carbon nano tube array, the protective material is heated and melted through a metal material placed on the surface of the array or liquid metal or a liquid polymer base material is fully filled into a gap between carbon nano tubes by an infiltrating liquid polymer material poured on the surface of the array and using capillary action and then solidified. In addition, a preparation method of the protective material is also disclosed. The multifunctional protective material has high mechanical property on the basis of a single carbon nano tube, and the carbon nano tubes are oriented in the same direction, so that the simultaneously filled metal or polymer material plays a role of enhancing structural mechanical properties. The composite material has high mechanical property, and is a good material for preventing fragments, and a high-radiation protection material which is subsequently filled into the carbon nano tube also can play a good role of preventing high-energy particle radiation in a space. Thus, the material has the function of simultaneously protecting a plurality of space environments.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the research field of space environment protection of spacecraft, in particular to a space environment multifunctional protection material used for space stations and utilizing the super high mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes as the structural main body, in the gaps between carbon nanotubes The preparation process of the multifunctional protective material prepared by filling metal or polymer into the carbon nanotube tube and filling it with high radiation protection material. Background technique [0002] The construction of a long-term on-orbit space station project is one of my country's national medium- and long-term major scientific and technological projects. Compared with other unmanned spacecraft, it is more important to ensure the safe operation of the space station because the space station is manned. [0003] During the orbital operation of the space station, due to the effects of the space environmen...
