Screening the performance of organic insulators under cryogenic neutron irradiation

  • 1. National Bureau of Standards, Boulder, CO

Description

Specimens and test procedures are being developed for determining the significant parameters influencing resistance of organic insulators to neutron irradiation at 4 K. The specimens are 3.2-mm-diameter rods of exceptionally high quality produced by a method allowing a large number of experimental variables to be evaluated. Flexural and torsional shear tests performed with these specimens indicate that such tests will be useful in studying cryogenic neutron irradiation damage to the fiber-matrix interface. Results of 76-K tests on unreinforced and glass-fiber reinforced epoxy and polyimide materials are presented
