Researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) have tested and analysed various material samples provided by Picosun to verify the protective coatings' suitability for protection against atomic oxygen.

Key Points: 
  • Researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) have tested and analysed various material samples provided by Picosun to verify the protective coatings' suitability for protection against atomic oxygen.
  • The results of the tests, performed on Kapton HN polyimide film, silicon pieces and PCBs (Printed Circuitry Boards) protected with Picosun ALD coating clearly demonstrated the erosion protection provided by the ALD coating.
  • Decreased thickness of ALD coating is known to withstand more deformation required for flexible materials than thick layers.
  • Picosun ALD showed atomic oxygen resistance in the tests and forms a suitable protective coating for extreme environmental conditions, applicable also for flexible materials", explains Adrian Tighe, Senior Materials Engineer in the Materials' Physics and Chemistry Section at ESA.
