Polyethylene-Based Multifunctional Composite Material for Radiation Shielding, Passive Thermoregulation, and In-Situ Fabrication for Space Exploration

Ionizing radiation sources like energetic electrons, protons, gamma rays, and secondary particles, such as thermal neutrons, are abundant in low Earth orbit (LEO) and deep space environments like lunar and Martian surfaces, where space missions are often conducted. Such sources of space radiation ca...
