A review on the advances achieved in the last 25 years in the development of hybrid nanocomposites based on polymer matrix for aerospace applications is presented here. The chapter analyzes the state-of-the-art strategies used in the design of materials that support the different conditions of the space environment. These materials are aimed primarily at structural applications, electromagnetic interference shielding, self-sensing, and self-healing, although they are not restricted to these applications. The introduction of metallic, ceramic, carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, as well as two-dimensional materials have been used with a successful impact. Despite the significant advances that have been reached, much work must be done to achieve complete reliability for all properties required to protect the systems against the hazardous conditions found in space. Therefore, futuristic visions of the actions that must be carried out are raised in this chapter.

Abstract. OceanMesh2D is a set of MATLAB functions with preprocessing and post-processing utilities to generate two-dimensional (2-D) unstructured meshes for coastal ocean circulation models. Mesh resolution is controlled according to a variety of feature-driven geometric and topo-bathymetric functions. Mesh generation is achieved through a force balance algorithm to locate vertices and a number of topological improvement strategies aimed at improving the worst-case triangle quality. The placement of vertices along the mesh boundary is adapted automatically according to the mesh size function, eliminating the need for contour simplification algorithms. The software expresses the mesh design and generation process via an objected-oriented framework that facilitates efficient workflows that are flexible and automatic. This paper illustrates the various capabilities of the software and demonstrates its utility in realistic applications by producing high-quality, multiscale, unstructured meshes.
