Mechanistic Study of Atomic Oxygen Erosion on Polyimide Under Electric Fields: A Molecular Dynamics and Density Functional Theory Approach

Polyimide (PI) is widely used in aerospace applications due to its superior insulating properties. However, the high concentration of atomic oxygen (AO) in low Earth orbit leads to significant performance degradation in PI, and the underlying mechanism of AO erosion under an electric field remains u...
