Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, significant progress in general materials science has been made, providing many opportunities for the space industry. Inorganic materials such as coatings, glasses, or ceramics are established in such applications as thermal control or ultrastable optical benches. The advantage of inorganic materials is, among others, that they normally do not emit organic contaminants as a result of outgassing.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions in all aspects of applications of inorganic materials in space: from the development of novel formulations to the optimization of existing materials, coatings, geopolymers, and others, in light of their various properties such as functional characterization and degradation limits.
Dr. Małgorzata Hołyńska
