Résumé : |
What if, because of paint, man could finally answer the age-old question : Are We Alone ?
It is often said amongst materials scientists that the very last thing considered by equipment design engineers is the materials from which the equipment will be constructed. While that’s a wee bit of an exaggeration, rarely are materials the first thing considered in design of space probes, including sophisticated equipment whose mission is directed to searching for microbial life forms on solar system bodies other than Earth. That approach is about to change. The changes to coatings necessitated by the extreme requirements of life-seeking space missions are some of the same changes generally needed for many planet Earth coatings applications. |
