ABSTRACTSignificant polymer weight loss has been observed due to environmental ashing by atomic oxygen at low earth orbital (LEO) altitudes. Static charging during deployment and charging caused by the space plasma in LEO polar orbits may cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems on insulating polymer materials that are integral to such applications as high voltage solar arrays. Simultaneous ion beam sputter deposited coatings of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), carbon, air, or methane were investigated as potential solutions to these problems. The purpose of this research was to improve the flexibility of ITO coatings with these additives and to study the effect the addition of these materials had not only on the flexibility of ITO sputter deposited thin films but also on the conductivity and optical properties.
