Summary

This paper investigates the uniaxial compression response of LMS-1 lunar regolith simulant mixed with polymer particles, focusing on the effects of polymer content, pressing stress, and ambient pressure on tensile strength and acoustic emission energy. The study aims to optimize polymer-bonded material strength through compression. This paper investigates the thermally induced polymeric bonding of LMS-1 lunar regolith simulant, focusing on compression behavior, tensile strength, and microwave heating effects. Key findings include the optimal PCg = 15% for strength gain, the influence of curing pressure and temperature, and the role of magnetic grains in microwave heating. This paper investigates microwave-based polymeric bonding of LMS-1 lunar regolith simulant to assess its feasibility for thermally-driven regolith bonding in lunar environments. It examines long-term durability, abrasion resistance, and thermo-mechanical behavior of bonded composites. The study references prior work on lunar simulants and bonding techniques but does not provide new experimental data on LMS-1 properties or methods. er-jetting components during rotational sintering.
