Thin films of silicon nitride and polyimide of different sizes (ranging from 10 to 100 mm), shape (circular or square) and mechanical design (e.g. meshless or supported by Si or polyimide meshes) have been manufactured within this contract to investigate new solutions to build optical blocking filters for X-ray detectors in future space applications. In addition, preliminary measurements have been performed on a new material based on CNT which will be further investigated in a CCN of this contract. The characterization measurements, obtained with a suite of different techniques, provide very useful results for future developments of the investigated materials.ELETTRONICOenResearch reportFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
