Description:

• This material is a low color space environmentally durable polyimide with Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) produced by high pressure carbon monoxide (HiPCO). This material was developed as part of a process to develop low color, optically transparent, space environmentally durable polymers with sufficient conductivity to mitigate static charge build-up. Possible applications include use on advanced spacecraft such as large, deployable, ultra light weight Gossamer spacecraft.
