Materials for High-Energy Radiation Shielding on Extra-Terrestrial Surfaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Polyethylene and polypropylene were used with simulated lunar regolith to make microcomposites as possible materials for habitat construction on extra-terrestrial surfaces. The polymer powders were used in various mass percents and thoroughly mixed with regolith powder before heating. A heated press or a microwave oven was used to heat the polymer/regolith mixture and form the micro-composite. The resulting materials were characterized by thermal analysis.
