This review gives a systematic overview of safety control methods for unmanned aerial vehicles with guaranteed performance requirements. The funnel control, prescribed performance control, and barrier Lyapunov function methods are first analyzed as three typical guaranteed performance methods. Next, the applications of guaranteed performance methods on flight control, fault-tolerant control, and attack-tolerant control of single unmanned aerial vehicle are detailedly analyzed and summarized. Moreover, by extending the guaranteed performance control design for single unmanned aerial vehicle to multiple unmanned aerial vehicles, the applications of guaranteed performance methods on cooperative control, fault-tolerant cooperative control, and attack-tolerant cooperative control of unmanned aerial vehicle swarm are further analyzed. Furthermore, some direct applications of these safety control methods with guaranteed performance in the aerospace field are discussed.

In order to attain the greatest benefits of graphene nanoparticles in the production of composite matrix systems for industrial applications, it is crucial to know which aspects can influence the final material qualities. Among these, nanoparticle dispersion plays a crucial role in the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites. The dispersion of graphene nanofillers is not a straightforward process since they tend to agglomerate due to van der Waals interactions. To promote de-agglomeration, various dispersion technologies are available. A survey of the literature regarding dispersion strategies and the accompanying mechanisms constitutes the core of the present review. Starting with a basic overview of difficulties associated with charging matrix materials with graphene and a short description of the properties of graphene, the review focuses on mechanisms governing graphene dispersion in epoxy. Furthermore, the physical and chemical techniques promoting effective dispersion are examined. Possible approaches for integrating dispersive technologies and adjusting dispersion quality are also discussed. Finally, the relationship between dispersion quality and the properties of graphene-epoxy composites and the characterization methods used to evaluate the quality of dispersion are critically analyzed.

Self-assembly may be synergised with 3D printing to offer an automated capability of manufacturing from raw material into modules for assembling new spacecraft or habitats. One application of 3D printing is using space debris on-orbit as an in-situ resource - defunct spacecraft may be salvaged as raw material for in-situ construction on demand. All self-assembling modules constitute a structure within which an internal actuator resides and without which resides a reversible latching mechanism. We have demonstrated a 3D printed dual excitation DC electric motor less the wire coils which were not 3D printed.
