Flexible Polyimide Aerogel Cross-linked by Poly(maleic Anhydride-alt-alkylene)

Aerogels are potential materials for aerospace applications due to their lower thermal conductivity, lighter weight, and low dielectric constant. However, silica aerogels are restricted due to their inherent fragility, hygroscopic nature, and poor mechanical properties, especially in extreme aerospace environments. In order to fit the needs of aerospace applications, developing new thermal insulation materials that are flexible, and moisture resistant is needed. To this end, we fabricated a series of polyimide aerogels crosslinked with different poly(maleic anhydride-alt-alkylene)s as seen in Scheme 1. The polyimide oligomers were made with 3,3,4,4-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), and different diamines or diamine combinations. The resulting aerogels have low density (0.06 gcm3 to 0.16 gcm3) and high surface area (240-440 m2g). The effect of the different backbone structures on density, shrinkage, porosity, surface area, mechanical properties, moisture resistance and thermal properties will be discussed. These novel polyalkylene-imide aerogels may be potential candidates for applications such as space suit insulation for planetary surface missions, insulation for inflatable structures for habitats, inflatable aerodynamic decelerators for entry, descent and landing (EDL) operations, and cryotank insulation for advance space propulsion systems.

Condensing Heat Exchanger with Hydrophilic Antimicrobial Coating

A multi-layer antimicrobial hydrophilic coating is applied to a substrate of anodized aluminum, although other materials may form the substrate. A silver layer is sputtered onto a thoroughly clean anodized surface of the aluminum to about 400 nm thickness. A layer of crosslinked, silicon-based macromolecular structure about 10 nm thickness overlies the silver layer, and the outermost surface of the layer of crosslinked, silicon-based macromolecular structure is hydroxide terminated to produce a hydrophilic surface with a water drop contact angle of less than 10.degree.. The coated substrate may be one of multiple fins in a condensing heat exchanger for use in the microgravity of space, which has narrow channels defined between angled fins such that the surface tension of condensed water moves water by capillary flow to a central location where it is pumped to storage. The antimicrobial coating prevents obstruction of the capillary passages.

Fracture of Carbon Nanotube - Amorphous Carbon Composites: Molecular Modeling

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising candidates for use as reinforcements in next generation structural composite materials because of their extremely high specific stiffness and strength. They cannot, however, be viewed as simple replacements for carbon fibers because there are key differences between these materials in areas such as handling, processing, and matrix design. It is impossible to know for certain that CNT composites will represent a significant advance over carbon fiber composites before these various factors have been optimized, which is an extremely costly and time intensive process. This work attempts to place an upper bound on CNT composite mechanical properties by performing molecular dynamics simulations on idealized model systems with a reactive forcefield that permits modeling of both elastic deformations and fracture. Amorphous carbon (AC) was chosen for the matrix material in this work because of its structural simplicity and physical compatibility with the CNT fillers. It is also much stiffer and stronger than typical engineering polymer matrices. Three different arrangements of CNTs in the simulation cell have been investigated: a single-wall nanotube (SWNT) array, a multi-wall nanotube (MWNT) array, and a SWNT bundle system. The SWNT and MWNT array systems are clearly idealizations, but the SWNT bundle system is a step closer to real systems in which individual tubes aggregate into large assemblies. The effect of chemical crosslinking on composite properties is modeled by adding bonds between the CNTs and AC. The balance between weakening the CNTs and improving fiber-matrix load transfer is explored by systematically varying the extent of crosslinking. It is, of course, impossible to capture the full range of deformation and fracture processes that occur in real materials with even the largest atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. With this limitation in mind, the simulation results reported here provide a plausible upper limit on achievable CNT composite properties and yield some insight on the influence of processing conditions on the mechanical properties of CNT composites.

Low-Melt Polyamic Acid Based Powder Coatings

The present invention is directed to a method for powder coating a metal substrate using a low-melt polyamic acid (PAA) polymer that readily imidizes to polyimides. These low-melt PAAs have been shown to be useful in resins applied as powder coatings to metal surfaces. The resin includes an end-capping material capable of providing crosslinking functionality to at least one end of the low-melt PAA polymer. The end-capping material functions dually as a polymerization chain terminator and crosslinking agent, thus producing resins that have molecular weights low enough to flow well and form good cured films applicable for use in powder coating.

Nature-Inspired Motivation for Developing Self-Healable Electrical Insulation

Polymeric aircraft electrical insulation normally degrade by partial discharge with increasing voltage, which causes excessive localized Joule heating in the material and ultimately leads to dielectric failure of the insulator through thermal breakdown. Self-healing insulation may be a viable option to mitigate permanent mechanical degradation, thus increasing the longevity of the material. Instead of relying on catalyst and monomer-filled microcapsules to crack, flow, and cure at the damaged sites described in well-published mechanisms, self-healing through establishment of ionic crosslinks allows for multiple healing events to occur as well as achieving full recovery strength under certain thermal environments. Surlyn®, a commercial ionically-crosslinked material, was investigated as a self-healing insulation candidate based on prior demonstrations of self-healing behavior. Thin films of varying thicknesses were investigated and the effects of thickness on the dielectric strength were evaluated and compared to representative polymer insulators. The effects of thermal conditioning on the recovery strength and healing were observed as a function of time following dielectric breakdown. Moisture absorption was studied to determine if moisture absorption rates in Surlyn® were lower than that of common polyimide insulators. Preliminary data showed that when cut, Surlyn® films lost nearly 60 percent of its original dielectric strength. However, when Surlyn® was cut and subsequently annealed, the films not only re-mended, but also recouped approximately 93 percent of its original dielectric strength, along with 90-97 percent of its mechanical strength.

Simultaneous Optical Links with the Inter-Satellite Omnidirectional Optical Communicator

As the onboard data volume for smaller platforms such as CubeSats increases, Radio Frequency (RF) communications systems may be unable to adequately support the required downlink demand. Optical communications (lasercom) systems can relieve the data bottleneck as they can support higher data throughput than RF for comparable Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP). Lasercom crosslinks are of particular interest for spacecraft swarms and constellations because they enable additional mission robustness for distributed science observations and remote sensing applications. The Inter-Satellite Omnidirectional optical Communicator (ISOC) is capable of supporting simultaneous lasercom crosslinks between multiple spacecraft at separations of up to thousands of kilometers in orbit. The ISOC architecture features a truncated dodecahedron chassis containing an array of photodetectors and gimbal-less MEMS mirrors, enabling full-duplex communications. The main objectives of the ISOC terminal include: 1) full sky coverage, 2) Gbps data rates, and 3) the ability to maintain multiple simultaneous links. We show ISOC can support up to 12 simultaneous links with the current architecture at 1-Gbps at 200-km separation with 10-9 BER. Compared to current lasercom transceivers (i.e., point-to-point), ISOC offers increased throughput performance for similar SWaP. A detailed link budget for both scenarios is presented, and the limiting factors for maximum number of simultaneous links are discussed.

Molecular Dynamics Investigation of the Structural and Mechanical Properties of Off-Stoichiometric Epoxy Resins

Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations were performed to compute the mechanical properties of off-stoichiometric epoxy resins as a function of hardener/epoxy mixture ratio (r). Properties were characterized in relation to their microscopic structures. Such resins have been used recently for adhesive-free bonding of large-scale composite structures using the co-curing-ply method. In this process, two partially precured composite panels with hardener-poor (HP) off-stoichiometric resins are coupled with ply(ies) of complementary hardener-rich (HR) formulations and then cured simultaneously. This bonding process has the potential to produce reliable and certifiable composite joints without the need for additional fasteners, which are often required for many conventional bonding methods because even small amounts of contamination can cause a weak bond. The reflow and mixing of the HP/HR resin in this bonding process result in a joint with no discernable interface that should not be susceptible to surface contamination. However, incomplete mixing of the two offset resins may result in chemical heterogeneity of the cured polymeric joint. Thus, different r values may be obtained across the joint. Classical MD simulations were performed to compute the Young’s modulus of polymers with different r values and correlate their properties to network structures. High stiffness was associated with molecular packing due to chemical crosslinking, leading to a single network structure. Moreover, the networks became denser as the ratio approached the stoichiometric value r = 1. Thus, the r = 1 systems were single clusters, with high stiffness, high molecular weight, and a high degree of crosslinking. Structural properties such as radius of gyration and mean square displacement were determined to investigate the variation in the stiffness with respect to r. This MD simulation study was validated with experimental measurements.

Enabling Mars Radio Occultation by Smallsats

We introduce a Mars Radio Occultation (RO) mission concept leveraging on small satellite (smallsat) technologies that will enable measurements that address both Mars science and exploration priorities. The RO technique measures the Doppler shift of radio signals of a spacecraft occulting behind a planet’s limb that contains information about the planet’s atmospheric density, temperature, and pressure. We design a smallsat constellation and simulate “crosslink” RO observations between the smallsats to determine the expected accuracy and spatiotemporal coverage of Mars RO atmospheric profiles. Such measurements are key to spacecraft Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) and Ascent from the Surface (AST) of Mars. Today, there are limited number of Mars atmospheric profiles with high vertical resolution, especially measurements near the surface that are difficult to obtain from satellite-based passive instruments due to atmospheric absorption. We find that crosslink ROs between a constellation of six smallsats provide global and diurnal cycle coverage with dozens of occultations per day, providing temperature information from near-surface up to ~45 km with altitude-dependent accuracy that ranges between <0.5 K at lower altitude to <5 K in the middle-to-upper atmosphere. Ionospheric ROs reveal an expected electron density of ~5 – 10% at the peak ionospheric height between 100 and 140 km. We conclude that observations obtained from a smallsat constellation can augment existing observing platforms by reducing observational gaps and yield high resolution measurements required for safe spacecraft operations during EDL and AST.

Biobased Polybenzoxazine Derived from Furfurylamine and Piceol with Low Cure Temperature and Advanced Properties for Composite Matrices

A novel benzoxazine made from furfurylamine, paraformaldehyde, and piceol, Bz-FA-HA, is assessed for applications in fiber reinforced (FR) composites. Piceol is a biobased phenolic compound derived from the roots of Norwegian spruce trees and contains a methyl ketone group at the para position. Bz-FA-HA is a liquid at room temperature, has a viscosity of < 1 Pa.s at temperatures above 90 °C, and a Tonset of cure at 132 °C. The carbonyl is found to react with the furan ring, yielding a crosslinking reaction, when cured above 180 °C as indicated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Poly(Bz-FA-HA) has a Tg > 350 °C, attributed to the crosslinking reaction. Furthermore, the storage modulus is > 3 GPa, regardless of cure temperature. Poly(Bz-FA-HA) has a char yield at 800 °C of 65.0 % (62.3 % at 1000 °C), and a Tonset of decomposition of 357 °C in nitrogen. The resulting carbon formed during pyrolysis shrinks during the carbonization reaction and scanning electron microscopy imaging shows a cross-section with micro cracks. The high processability, advanced mechanical properties, and exceptional char yield make it a promising candidate as the matrix for FR composites.

Programmable bionanocomposite coated fertilizers for prolonged controlled release of nitrogen

Controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) present a promising solution for alleviating food and nutrient scarcity. However, their development has been mainly hindered by both rapid and unsynchronized nutrient release and unsustainable coating materials. In this study, we address this issue by developing a new coating layer for CRFs using a programmable biopolyurethane nanocomposite. This nanocomposite is prepared from diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI)-functionalized bentonite nanoclay (BNT-MDI) and a biopolyol from biomass waste. The results show that the BNT-MDI-doped CRFs (BCRFs) exhibit an impressive nitrogen (N)-release longevity of approximately 120 days at a 4 wt% coating ratio, surpassing previous CRF formulations. In a 30-day snap bean cultivation study, BCRF significantly improved root length (1000%), leaf length (257%), leaf width (400%), and plant height (1400%) compared to the control. The superior performance of BCRF is attributed to the PU-nanoclay biocomposite film, with full nano-exfoliation, controllable porosity, and high crosslinking density. Furthermore, we introduce a new dynamic release mechanism and establish a quantitative relationship between the nanostructure, property, and release performance of BCRF by combining the multiplicative and diffusion models for porous materials. Finally, this study provides a theoretical framework and a straightforward methodology for designing programmable nanocomposite structures for future biobased CRFs.

PET waste- and bio-derived imine vitrimers for shape-memory, intrinsic flame-retardant, and recyclable carbon fiber composites

Developing circular multifunctional vitrimers and carbon fiber–reinforced polymers (CFRPs) that are simultaneously recyclable, mechanically robust, and intrinsically flame retardant remains a major challenge. Here, in this study, we report multifunctional vitrimers and their carbon fiber–reinforced vitrimer (CFRV) composites, where the vitrimer design integrates closed-loop recyclability, enhanced interfacial adhesion, and intrinsic flame retardancy within a single materials platform. The vitrimer matrix is synthesized from post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste and a vanillin-derived phosphorus-containing crosslinker, forming an imine-based network. The resulting vitrimer resin exhibits high tensile strength, thermal healability, repeated reprocessability, programmable shape memory, and rapid chemical depolymerization under mild conditions. Amine-functionalized carbon fibers significantly improve fiber–matrix interfacial bonding, yielding CFRVs with tensile strengths up to 789 MPa and complete recovery of structurally intact fibers after chemical recycling. The phosphorus-rich aromatic network further imparts intrinsic flame retardancy, enabling self-extinguishing behavior without external additives. This work advances a materials design paradigm for next-generation multifunctional, sustainable vitrimers and CFRVs, while simultaneously addressing the recycling challenges associated with both plastic and CFRP waste.

Citric Acid Functionalized Natural Fibers to Enhance Thermal Stability and Moisture Resistance in Polylactic Acid Composites

Cellulosic fibers can impart many unique benefits into composite applications, such as reduced weight or structural reinforcement; however, these materials also increase hygroscopicity and decrease thermal stability, restricting broader applications. The present work adapted an experimental process for functionalizing the cellulose surface using citric acid (CA) for three fibers: a 100% cellulose bleached soft Kraft pulp (e.g., creafill) and two natural fibers with similar composition but different fiber morphology, flax fiber and banana fiber. The process uses CA with a sodium hypophosphite (SHP) catalyst to chemically functionalize fiber surfaces, and the reaction mechanism was investigated through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), which suggested a grafting mechanism rather than a surface-based crosslinking between neighboring sites. Functionalized fibers were compounded into polylactic acid (PLA) at 20 wt.% to better understand how this functionalization might impact critical performance properties like thermal stability, crystallization, thermal mechanical properties, and water uptake of these composites. The study demonstrated varying levels of efficacy for the functionalization of cellulosic fibers with CA/SHP and the fiber with the most open microstructure, e.g., banana fiber, exhibited the largest change in its properties with a 38% reduction in water uptake compared to untreated banana fiber composites. Parallel evaluation of the functionalization process for different fibers demonstrates the importance of fiber morphology on surface modification and can enable their use in composites by demonstrating the efficacy of this potentially low-cost, low-toxicity method for reducing hygroscopicity and improving thermal stability.

Reactive Processing of Furan‐Based Monomers via Frontal Ring‐Opening Metathesis Polymerization for High Performance Materials

Frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) presents an energy-efficient approach to produce high-performance polymers, typically utilizing norbornene derivatives from Diels–Alder reactions. This study broadens the monomer repertoire for FROMP, incorporating the cycloaddition product of biosourced furan compounds and benzyne, namely 1,4-dihydro-1,4-epoxynaphthalene (HEN) derivatives. A computational screening of Diels–Alder products is conducted, selecting products with resistance to retro-Diels–Alder but also sufficient ring strain to facilitate FROMP. The experiments reveal that varying substituents both modulate the FROMP kinetics and enable the creation of thermoplastic materials characterized by different thermomechanical properties. Moreover, HEN-based crosslinkers are designed to enhance the resulting thermomechanical properties at high temperatures (>200 °C). The versatility of such materials is demonstrated through direct ink writing (DIW) to rapidly produce 3D structures without the need for printed supports. This research significantly extends the range of monomers suitable for FROMP, furthering efficient production of high-performance polymeric materials.

Pillared Laminar Vermiculite Membranes with Tunable Monovalent and Multivalent Ion Selectivity

Effective membrane separation of Li + from Na + and Mg 2+ is crucial for lithium extraction from water yet challenging for conventional polymeric membranes. Two dimensional (2D) membranes with ordered laminar structures and tunable physicochemical properties offer distinctive ion-sieving capabilities promising for lithium extraction. Recently, phyllosilicates are introduced as abundant and cost-effective source materials for such membranes. However, their water instability and low inherent ion transport selectivity hinder practical applications. Herein, a new class of laminar membranes with excellent stability and tunable ion sieving is reported by incorporating inorganic alumina pillars into vermiculite interlayers. Crosslinking vermiculite flakes with alumina pillars significantly strengthens interlamellar interactions, resulting in robust water stability. Doping of Na + before the pillaring process reverses the membrane's surface charge, substantially boosting Li + separation from multivalent cations via electrostatic interactions. Lithium extraction is often complicated by the presence of co-existing monovalent cations (e.g., Na + ) at higher concentrations. Here, by introducing excess Na + into the membrane after the pillaring process, the separation of Li + from monovalent cations is enhanced through steric effects. This work realizes both monovalent/multivalent and monovalent/monovalent selective ion sieving with the same membrane platform. A separation mechanism is proposed based on Donnan exclusion and size exclusion, providing new insights for membrane design for resource recovery applications.

Multi‐Material Gradient Printing Using Meniscus‐enabled Projection Stereolithography (MAPS)

Light‐based additive manufacturing methods are widely used to print high‐resolution 3D structures for applications in tissue engineering, soft robotics, photonics, and microfluidics, among others. Despite this progress, multi‐material printing with these methods remains challenging due to constraints associated with hardware modifications, control systems, cross‐contamination, waste, and resin properties. Here, a new printing platform coined Meniscus‐enabled Projection Stereolithography (MAPS) is reported, a vat‐free method that relies on generating and maintaining a resin meniscus between a crosslinked structure and bottom window to print lateral, vertical, discrete, or gradient multi‐material 3D structures with no waste and user‐defined mixing between layers. MAPS is compatible with a wide range of resins shown and can print complex multi‐material 3D structures without requiring specialized hardware, software, or complex washing protocols. MAPS's ability to print structures with microscale variations in mechanical stiffness, opacity, surface energy, cell densities, and magnetic properties provides a generic method to make advanced materials for a broad range of applications.

Hybrid Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing of Dual‐Wavelength Photopolymer Thermosets

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as digital light processing (DLP) AM and stereolithography enable the production of highly complex structures with speed and ease as not previously possible. However, many traditional thermosetting photopolymers used in these processes result in a permanently crosslinked structure incapable of being broken down or modified without the use of energy-intensive processes such as mechanical machining or ablation. To overcome this limitation, this production is described of thiol-ene photopolymer thermosets with dual-wavelength photopolymerization and photodegradation reaction pathways. The dual wavelength selectivity of the polymerization (405 nm) and degradation (365 nm) processes, combined with dual-wavelength DLP AM technology, enables hybrid manufacturing with the ability to add and sequentially subtract material with excellent spatiotemporal control. 2D lithographs and complex 3D architectures with soft elastomeric properties are produced with resolutions as small as 50 µm. Furthermore, the ability to selectively subtract supports from 3D printed structures with deliberate and accurate control is demonstrated. In conclusion, the ability to correct or modify existing structures enables a new paradigm of adaptable materials for corrective manufacturing techniques and temporary structures.

Synergistic Tuning of Microstructure and Morphology in Carbon Molecular Sieve Hollow Fibers for Propylene/Propane Separation

Abstract Asymmetric carbon molecular sieve (CMS) hollow fiber membranes with tunable micro‐ and macro‐structural morphologies for energy efficient propylene‐propane separation are reported here. A sub‐glass transition temperature (sub‐Tg) thermal oxidative crosslinking strategy enables simultaneous optimization of the intrinsic molecular sieving properties while also reducing the thickness of the CMS “skin” derived from the 6FDA : BPDA/DAM polyimide precursors. Such synergistic tuning of CMS microstructure and macroscopic morphology of CMS hollow fibers enables significantly increased propylene permeance (reaching 186.5 GPU) while maintaining an appealing propylene/propane selectivity of 13.3 for 50/50 propylene/propane mixed gas feeds. Our findings reveal a more refined and versatile tool than available with previous O 2 ‐doping pretreatments. The advanced approach here should be broadly useful to other polyimide precursors and diverse gas pairs.
