The effect of radiation and of the magnetic field could also be studied using conducting polymers. The conducting polymers are also very useful in space research. As the solar panels open up and stay in space, they are constantly bombarded by the charged particles and other radiation which eventually damage the thin films of solar panel but if a transparent layer of polymers, which does not inhibit solar power, could be used as a protective coating, then the solar panels would be safe and long lasting. Polymers such as polyacetylene or polyaniline, which are photosensitive, are candidates for this type of research. It is interesting to know that the process in these materials is analogous to artificial photosynthesis, offering potentially a molecular approach to the information storage and high efficiency solar cell applications.
Today is the age of solar cells or solar panels.
The radiation from the Sun, the constant source of energy, consists of two components viz. Objectives of LIFE 1.
