Abstract

Carbon nanostructure-based composites and methods for making and using the same are described. The carbon nanostructure-based composites can be single-layer or multi-layer composites. Such composites can be useful for shielding radiation, such as that experienced by spacecraft and satellites. Carbon nanostructure-based composites containing low-Z and high-shielding efficiency (e.g., high-Z) materials and having radiation-shielding properties are described herein. A non-limiting exemplary composite is shown in Figure 1.
