Other EDS Systems
Carbon Nanotube (CNT) ink electrodes are deposited on fabrics to create dust free astronauts suits for lunar excursions.
|
The EDS has been fabricated in dozens of different configurations over the past decade. Below are some pictures of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) ink electrodes deposited on fabrics to create a self-cleaning fabric. Such fabrics would be necessary to keep astronauts suits dust free during lunar excursions.
