- Authors
Nicosia, Angelo; Mineo, Placido
- Abstract
This article discusses the importance of nanomaterials in various scientific fields, including nanoelectronics, nanomedicine, environmental remediation, and sensing. It specifically focuses on the challenges of using ordinary materials in extraterrestrial environments, such as the Moon and Mars, due to extreme conditions like low gravity, solar wind, and cosmic rays. The article highlights the role of polymer-based materials in developing infrastructure for extraterrestrial environments and the need to improve their durability. It also discusses the importance of radiation shielding for spacecraft and the potential use of carbon-based nanomaterials for corrosion mitigation. Additionally, the article explores the development of nanomaterials for addressing health issues and pollution reduction in space environments. Overall, the article emphasizes the significant role of nanomaterials in future space colonization efforts and their applications in interdisciplinary fields.
