SMS works with customers to evaluate particulate-fouling challenges and develop self-cleaning surfaces tailored to specific materials, contaminants, and operating environments. If dust or particulate buildup is affecting the performance or maintenance of your equipment, contact us if you’re interested in the co-development or testing of our self-cleaning surfaces for your application on Earth or beyond. SMS’s dust mitigation technology can be tailored for applications where particulate buildup reduces performance or increases cleaning and maintenance requirements. Potential applications include: - Solar panels and other optical surfaces - Cameras and sensors - Thermal-control surfaces and radiators - Mining and industrial equipment - Vehicle surfaces, optics, sensors, and thermal-management hardware operating in dusty or desert environments - Spacecraft and lunar surface hardware SMS has developed dust-mitigating surfaces for solar panels and high-emissivity radiators, as well as surfaces designed for demanding terrestrial, industrial, and space environments.
