Low solar absorptivity, space environmentally stable polymeric materials possessing sufficient electrical conductivity for electrostatic charge dissipation (ESD) are of interest for potential applications on spacecraft as thin film membranes on antennas, solar sails, large lightweight space optics, and second surface mirrors. One method of imparting electrical conductivity while maintaining low...

Fine control of ultramicroporosity (<7 Å) in carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes is highly desirable for challenging gas separation processes. Here, a versatile approach proposed to fabricate hybrid CMS (HCMS) with unique textural properties as well tunable ultramicroporosity. The HCMS are formed by pyrolysis polymer nanocomposite precursor containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) carboniz...
