“…To further safeguard crew-health, essential therapeutics that cannot be included in cargo due to restrictions such as shelf-life, are within scope 8 , 10 , 15 . For maximum fidelity of mission operations, a range of thermoplastic multi-purpose materials have been proposed for manufacturing of e.g., food processing equipment, surgical and medical supplies, radiation shielding, and habitat components 41 44 . Enabling technologies include: modular fermentations and bioprocesses at scale, optimized genetically engineered microbial strains to efficiently produce intermediates (i.e., ingredients, agents, crude polymer), and formulation/processing systems to assemble the final products (i.e., meals, drugs, manufactured items).…”

“…Its high biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and chemical resistance have made PE the material of choice for the commercial production of orthopedic prostheses and packaging [ 1 , 2 ]. In the space sector, PE and PE-based composites are used as a barrier against the hazardous space radiation environment [ 3 , 4 ]. In fact, it is widely recognized that materials composed of low atomic number atoms offer protection against radiation [ 5 ].…”

“…In addition to improvements in thermal conductivity, higher dimensional stability can be achieved by filler incorporation, which can be particularly attractive for 3D-printing applications. [12][13][14] In a previous paper, 15 it was proposed the use of soapstone waste as an alternative filler for high-density polyethylene composites. This talc-rich mineral is normally exploited for industrial, construction and ornamental purposes.…”

“…These PE composites are also suitable for packaging of electronic utensils, 10,11 as the enhanced thermal conductivity allows for proper heat dissipation in such devices. In addition to improvements in thermal conductivity, higher dimensional stability can be achieved by filler incorporation, which can be particularly attractive for 3D‐printing applications 12–14 …”
