moleculardecontamination applications, especially in the aerospace field where the dimensions are very important. Indeed, the available space inside a satellite is limited, and the dimensions of any adsorbent bodies have to be controlled to avoid increased costs of the satellite. This methodology allows

Molecular contamination is of great concern in aerospace-based applications. Once satellites are in orbit, molecules contained in paints, adhesives or glues can outgas and form films or droplets on the surface of mirrors, lenses, solar cells or
