Reactive molecular dynamics simulation on the disintegration of Kapton and Upilex-S during atomic oxygen impact

Polyimides are polymeric materials that are widely used in spacecraft applications owing to their unique properties. However, exposure to a low-Earth-orbit environment containing atomic oxygen (AO) results in the disintegration of polymeric materials on the surface of spacecraft, thereby affecting t...
