Physical/Chemical<br />

Permeability Inclusion of impermeable, high aspect ratio silicate or graphite Cryogenic tanks, durability to<br />

flake in resin<br />

diffusion species<br />

Outgassing Inclusion of impermeable, high aspect ratio silicate or Optical benches, interferometer,<br />

graphene in resin<br />

antenna truss structures<br />

Oxidative Incorporate high temperature, oxidative resistant fillers Thermal protective systems,<br />

Resistance<br />

Electrical<br />

(silicate, CNT,POSS, etc.) that form passivating layers or slow atomic oxygen resistance<br />

oxidative erosion in resin or as coating<br />

ESD Incorporate high aspect ratio conductive particles such as<br />

CNT, graphite flake, metals, etc as percolated network in<br />

resin between conductive fibers<br />

Adhesives, coatings, gap fillers<br />

EMI Create films of highly percolated network of conductive Bus compartment enclosure,<br />

nanofillers (nickel nanostr<strong>and</strong> veil, SWNT buckypaper, etc.)<br />

that can both absorb <strong>and</strong> dissipate broadb<strong>and</strong> frequencies<br />

electronic enclosures<br />

Lightning Incorporate conductive nanofillers (nickel nanostr<strong>and</strong>s, CNT, Composite aircraft exterior<br />

Strike etc.) as highly percolated coatings, appliqués, resins, or veils<br />

that can carry large currents <strong>and</strong> have controlled failure modes
