About
Lopamudra Das is a materials scientist whose research focuses on developing advanced coatings for extreme environments, particularly for aerospace applications. Her most cited work, "Spray-deposition of graphene/polymer thin coatings on polyimide sheets for lunar dust adhesion mitigation" (2024, 13 citations), addresses a critical challenge in lunar exploration: the abrasive and electrostatic adhesion of lunar dust to spacecraft surfaces. By engineering graphene-reinforced polymer thin films applied via scalable spray deposition, Das has demonstrated a practical solution to mitigate dust buildup on polyimide-based components, such as thermal blankets and solar panels. This contribution is pivotal for the longevity and reliability of equipment on the Moon's surface. Her work bridges nanotechnology and space materials science, showcasing how two-dimensional materials can be integrated into functional coatings for harsh conditions. With her research already garnering attention in the space materials community, Das is establishing herself as an innovator in surface engineering for extraterrestrial environments. Her approach not only advances lunar mission technology but also offers insights for terrestrial applications requiring durable, anti-adhesive surfaces.
