Space travel: Protection from cosmic radiation with boron nitride nanotube fibers

With the success of the Nuri launch last year and the recent launch of the newly established Korea Aerospace Administration, interest in space has increased, and both the public and private sectors are actively investing in space-related industries such as space travel. However, exposure to cosmic radiation is unavoidable when traveling to space.

A research team led by Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim from the Center for Functional Composite Materials at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a new composite fiber that can effectively block neutrons in space radiation. The work is published in the journal Advanced Fiber Materials.

Neutrons in space radiation negatively affect life activities and cause electronic devices to malfunction, posing a major threat to long-term space missions.

By controlling the interaction between one-dimensional nanomaterials, boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), and aramid polymers, the team developed a technique to perfectly blend the two difficult-to-mix materials. Based on this stabilized mixed solution, they produced lightweight, flexible, continuous fibers that do not burn at temperatures up to 500°C.

BNNTs have a similar structure to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), but because they contain a large number of boron in the lattice structure, their neutron absorption capacity is about 200,000 times higher than that of CNTs. Therefore, if the developed BNNT composite fibers are made into fabrics of the desired shape and size, they can be applied as a good material that can effectively block radiation neutron transmission.

This means that BNNT composite fibers can be applied to the clothing we wear every day, effectively protecting flight crews, health care workers, power plant workers, and others who may be easily exposed to radiation.

In addition, the ceramic nature of BNNTs makes them highly heat-resistant, so they can be used in extreme environments. Therefore, it can be used not only for space applications but also for defense and firefighting.

"By applying the functional textiles we have developed to the clothing we wear every day, we can easily create a minimum safety device for neutron exposure," said Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim of KIST.

"As Korea is developing very rapidly in the space and defense fields, we believe it will have great synergy."

High-Pressure Homogenization: A Solution For Carbon Nanotube Dispersion

HPH offers a powerful solution for dispersing CNTs by applying intense pressure (up to 45,000 psi) to break up CNT aggregates. During the process, a fluid containing CNTs is forced through a narrow orifice at high speeds, generating extreme shear forces that separate the nanotubes and create a uniform dispersion. The Genizer high-pressure mcirofluidic homogenizer is a notable example of equipment designed to achieve this level of dispersion effectively.

Advantages of HPH for CNT Processing

The primary advantage of HPH is its ability to achieve consistent dispersion across large volumes. This uniformity is crucial for applications where the precise arrangement of CNTs is necessary, such as in nanocomposites, electronics, and coatings. Additionally, HPH enables the scaling of CNT processing, making it feasible for both research and industrial production. 

High-pressure homogenization has revolutionized the way carbon nanotubes are processed, ensuring efficient, scalable, and consistent dispersions. As industries continue to explore CNTs' potential, HPH will play a key role in enabling their full application across various fields.

How EMI Shielding Materials Work to Block Interference

EMI Shielding

Electromagnetic interference, commonly known as EMI, refers to disruptive electromagnetic radiation emitted from electronic devices that can interfere with other nearby equipment. This interference can cause technical issues ranging from temporary glitches to permanent damage of sensitive electronic components. Growing concern over EMI has fueled the growth of the EMI shielding materials aimed at blocking these disruptive electromagnetic waves. They play a vital role in ensuring smooth functioning of various electronic systems by protecting them against external electromagnetic radiations. Types

A wide variety of materials are used for EMI shielding depending on the requirements and applications. Some of the major types are: Metals as EMI Shielding Materials

Metals are the most widely used them due to their excellent conductivity. Common metal options include copper, aluminum and steel. Copper offers the best conductivity for effective EMI Shielding Materials is more expensive than aluminum. Steel is low cost but less conductive. Often metal plates, foils or meshes are used to form EMI shielding enclosures. Conductive Coatings for EMI Shielding

Conductive coatings containing metal particles like silver, nickel or carbon are applied on non-conductive substrates to impart EMI shielding properties. Epoxy or acrylic based conductive coatings are used to shield components which cannot use metal EMI shielding due to weight or fabrication constraints. These coatings offer over 90% shielding effectiveness. Carbon-Based EMI Shielding Materials

Carbon nanotube (CNT), graphene and conductive polymer composites have emerged as promising shielding materials. CNT composites exhibit excellent EMI shielding ability when blended with polymers or coatings. Graphene, a thin layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, can effectively block EMI waves. Conductive polymers loaded with carbon particles also serve as lightweight and flexible shielding materials. Fabric Shields for Flexible EMI Shielding

Conductive fabric inserts loaded with silver, nickel or carbon provide flexible shielding solutions. Woven metal mesh fabrics, conductive polymer coated fabrics and CNT blended fabrics enable conformal shielding of complex three-dimensional assemblies and eliminate need for rigid metallic enclosures. These fabric shields are stretchable, foldable and eliminate need for grounding. How EMI Shielding Materials Work

All conducting materials, whether metal or coating, work on the same principle to block electromagnetic interference. When EMI waves interact with these materials, electrons inside their atomic structure are disturbed and forced to oscillate by the alternating electromagnetic fields. The mechanical oscillation of a huge number of electrons helps create opposing electromagnetic fields that cancel out the incoming EMI waves. This disruption and cancellation of waves is known as reflection. In metals, free electrons can move easily which enables quicker generation of opposite fields for highly effective EMI shielding. Materials with higher electrical conductivity have more free electrons and thus better shielding capabilities. Another phenomena involved is absorption where some portion of the incoming EMI energy gets converted into other forms like heat due to resistance offered by the shielding material during oscillation of electrons. Both reflection and absorption combine to limit wave penetration and shield the equipment from electromagnetic interference. Proper grounding of EMI shields promotes effective reflection of waves for maximum protection. Functions of EMI Shielding

The primary function of all EMI shielding materials is to provide a continuous conducting barrier that blocks electromagnetic waves from entering or escaping an electronic device. Besides this, there are some important secondary functions served by EMI shielding: - Protects sensitive circuits from malfunction or damage due to external EMI - Prevents emission of electromagnetic interference from internal electronics to meet regulatory norms - Reduces electromagnetic coupling between circuits within complex systems - Shields computers and communication devices from wireless signals for data security - Blocks radio frequency ID (RFID) or near field communication (NFC) signals as per application needs - Provides surge protection to electronic boards against electrostatic discharge or lightning - Absorbs electromagnetic energy to eliminate reflection and multipath distortion problems Rapid advancements in electronics demand highly effective EMI shielding solutions to ensure seamless co-existence of numerous devices in the limited electromagnetic spectrum. With continuous innovation, EMI shielding materials will continue to play a critical role in maintaining the optimal performance and reliability of electronic systems.
