Coatings Would Protect Polymers Against Atomic Oxygen
Abstract
Proposed interposition of layers of silver oxide tens to hundreds of angstroms thick between polymeric substrates and overlying films helps protect substrates against chemical attack by monatomic oxygen. In original application, polymer substrate would be, sheet of polyimide supporting array of solar photovoltaic cells on spacecraft in low orbit around Earth. Concept also applicable to protection of equipment in terrestrial laboratory and industrial vacuum and plasma chambers in which monatomic oxygen present.
