ENDNOTES
- ● Metals vs. polymers as complementary material classes: fundamental materials science.
- ● Paper incompatibility with vacuum: water content (~5%), outgassing, and cellulose tensile limits are well-documented. NASA Reference Publication 1124.
- ● Polymer-V 4-ply laminate: each individual layer technology is established. The specific 4-ply co-extrusion is the Polymer Press engineering contribution.
- ● Leuco-dye nanocrystal color system: photochromic dyes are established chemistry. Crano & Guglielmetti (1999). Four-species independent wavelength activation is the joint development.
- ● UV-initiated cross-linking for format switching: established polymer chemistry. Decker, Macromolecular Rapid Communications 23 (2002).
- ● Cross-linked aramid films: topologically continuous covalent networks with simultaneous load distribution are established polymer physics.
- ● Electronic polymer specifications: polyimide flex circuits, PEDOT:PSS conductive coatings, and high-k polymer dielectrics are commercially available.
- ● Thermal barrier films: zirconia-reinforced ceramic-fiber composites rated for 1,200°C are established in aerospace thermal protection.
- ● Substrate-X/BIO: pH-responsive cross-linking in polymer scaffolds is demonstrated in tissue engineering research. Progressive hardening matched to cell colonization rate is a development target.
