Abstract
Self-adaptive fabrics for space applications are provided. In one aspect, a fabric for use in space includes a structural fabric and a plurality of synthetic fibers woven into a self-adaptive fabric. The self-adaptive fabric is attached to the structural fabric. Each of the synthetic fibers includes a plurality of hollow cells containing a trapped gas. The synthetic fibers are formed of a material having a sufficient elasticity such that the diameter of each of the synthetic fibers is configured to increase when the environmental pressure decreases.
