This study aims at investigating an oxygen absorbing and releasing polymeric textile material in view of its potential use in space as a low mass and reliable complement, or eventually substitute for oxygen tanks in some applications. The goal is to develop a texs a low mass and reliable complement, or eventually substitute for oxygen tanks in some applications. The goal is to develop a textile material which is able to reversible bind, not only oxygen, but also nitrogen, and remove carbon dioxide from the air. The revele material which is able to reversible bind, not only oxygen, but also nitrogen, and remove carbon dioxide from the air. The reversible binding of nitrogen and carbon dioxide are however considered as a second step goal, focussing this study on oxygenible binding of nitrogen and carbon dioxide are however considered as a second step goal, focussing this study on oxygen.
