Methods for producing hydrocarbon-based polymers and hydrocarbon-based polymeric structures that are capable of removing carbon dioxide from an ambient environment to produce breathable oxygen. The methods produce enclosed, solar-exposed polymeric structures capable of expanding in area through the reuse of at least a portion of the hydrocarbon-based polymers. As such, the method produces self-sustaining polymeric/hydrocarbon-based structures capable of in-situ resource harvesting and reuse to create a sustainable, habitable area. The methods can be used to create a habitable environment in otherwise harsh conditions, such as those associated with high concentrations of carbon dioxide and low pressure, without the need to use external, non-renewable resources, and instead using renewable, in-situ resources to improve the viability of habitation within the environment of the manufactured three-dimensional structures.
生产碳氢化合物基聚合物和碳氢化合物基聚合物结构的方法,这些聚合物和结构能够从环境中去除二氧化碳,从而产生可呼吸的氧气。这些方法可生产封闭的、暴露在太阳光下的聚合物结构,通过重复使用至少一部分碳氢化合物基聚合物,这些结构的面积能够扩大。因此,该方法生产的聚合物/碳氢化合物基结构可自我维持,能够就地收集和重复使用资源,以创建一个可持续的宜居区域。这些方法可用于在其他恶劣条件下(如与高浓度二氧化碳和低气压相关的条件)创建宜居环境,而无需使用外部不可再生资源,而是使用可再生的原地资源,以提高在制造的三维结构环境中居住的可行性。
