Nanotechnology has the potential to radically impact future NASA mission needs by enabling the development of lighterweight vehicles, energy generation and storage devices with higher specific power and energy, sensors with increased sensitivity and selectivity, and methods to protect astronauts from the effects of long-duration space travel.  A 20+ year technical roadmap for the development and insertion of nanotechnology in future NASA missions was recently developed. This presentation will highlight research opportunities from tnis roadmap in polymer related nantoechnology.
