“…These results are much improved over those from earlier fold testing with a small polymer substrate coupon 6 . In the past testing, the ITO-MgF 2 coated Mylar® coupon was sharply folded under 1.01x10 +05 N/m 2 loading.…”

“…The Z-folded test article was manually placed below the support fixture and the weights were carefully placed on top of the fixture. To avoid excessive test article ITO-MgF 2 film scratching akin to that reported in earlier testing 6 , several plastic sheets and a rubberized computer mouse pad were placed between the aluminum fixture and the laboratory table top. After a period of 5-minutes, the weights and fixture were carefully removed from the test article.…”

“…Yet, further research is required in the areas of film durability for space-inflatable applications and precise film property control for large scale commercial production. To address this need, film development work is in progress [6][7][8] . In this paper, the authors discuss further film development efforts in the areas of film durability, film sheet resistivity measurement and active control for commercial production.…”
