CINTRA new journal cover, December 2015
Together with collaborators from SOREQ NRC, Israel, CINTRA (Ms Manuela Loeblein, Dr Tsang Siu Hon, Tony and Asst. Prof. Teo Hang Tong Edwin) developed a next-generation thermal control and shielding blanket for space vehicles by creating a 3D-graphene reinforced polyimide (3D-C/PI). It provides excellent electrostatic discharge shielding protection with long term stability in harsh environments and outstanding thermal and electrical properties. This work was featured on the front cover of Small, Volume 11, Issue 48.
