AI Technical Summary
Existing transparent polyimide materials exhibit significant degradation in optical properties before and after atomic oxygen irradiation, affecting the operational lifespan and performance of spacecraft.
A gradient self-assembly technique of layered silicate nanosheets and transparent polyamic acid was adopted, drawing inspiration from the "brick-and-mortar" structure of mother-of-pearl and the gradient structure of insect elytra, to prepare a gradient atomic oxygen-resistant biomimetic transparent polyimide composite film. This film was prepared by coating with low, medium, and high concentrations of layered silicate nanosheet-transparent polyamic acid dispersions and thermal imidization treatment.
It significantly improves the strength, toughness, and flexibility of the material, while maintaining the stability of optical properties, enhancing its resistance to atomic oxygen, and extending the service life of spacecraft.
