Abstract This paper describes a new multifunction smart coating that can provide atomic oxygen (AO) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, while also improving the thermal control of space structures. The methodology is based on a passive thin-film structure employing VO n transition metal oxides that exhibit a metal to insulator transition. The coating, depending on its formulation, can provide a variable heat-transfer/emitter structure that operates passively in response to changes in the temperature of the space structure, by dynamically varying the ratio of solar absorptance (α) to thermal emittance (ε). This enhances self-heating of the structure at lower temperatures and cooling through thermal radiation at elevated temperatures. Work is currently underway to apply this coating to various polymers and membranes to improve their performance in space.
