چکیده
Many fields, including the aerospace industry, have shown increased interest in use of plastics to lower mass systems. However, space can be challenging for a number reasons. Ultraviolet radiation, atomic oxygen, and other phenomena specifically associated with cause degradation polymers. Here we show path toward creation space-grade components by combining additive manufacturing (AM) layer deposition (ALD). Our method produced ALD Al2O3 coated thermoplastic parts suitable applications. The highlight this work is significant reduction outgassing, demonstrated using residual gas analyzer (RGA) sampling. Compared uncoated parts, coating decreased outgassing polyether ether ketone (PEEK), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), nanodiamond-doped polylactide (ND-PLA) 46%, 49%, 58%, 65%, respectively. used enables topology optimization already early concept phase. ideally suited spacecraft applications, which volume critical, could also adapted in-space manufacturing.

متن کاملAtomic layer deposition of GaN using GaCl3 and NH3
GaN films were grown on Si 100 substrate by atomic layer deposition ALD using GaCl3 and NH3. Growth conditions were identified for which the growth rate exhibited a plateau at 2.0 Å /cycle, consistent with self-limiting adsorption. A relatively wide temperature window 500–750 °C for ALD growth mode was also established for one flow sequence schedule. In this limit, both the 0002 and 101̄1 orient...
متن کاملAtomic Layer Deposition of Fe2O3 Using Ferrocene and Ozone
Growing interest in Fe2O3 as a light harvesting layer in solar energy conversion devices stems from its unique combination of stability, nontoxicity, and exceptionally low material cost. Unfortunately, the known methods for conformally coating high aspect ratio structures with Fe2O3 leave a glaring gap in the technologically relevant temperature range of 170-350 C. Here, we elucidate a self-lim...

The directed energy deposition (DED) process can be employed to build net shape components or prototypes starting from powder or wires, through a layer-by-layer process. This process provides an opportunity to fabricate complex shaped and functionally graded parts that can be utilized in different engineering applications. DED uses a laser as a focused heat source to melt the in-situ delivered ...
