Space radiation environment effects on selected properties of advanced composite materials

  • 1. Boeing Vertol Co., Philadelphia, PA

Description

Test equipment and techniques have been developed in order to describe the effects of the space environment on fiber-reinforced plastic composite materials. Attention is given to the features and performance of the vacuum chamber-Van de Graaff radiation facility employed, its exposure dosimetry, the preparation of the test specimens, their test rotating drum, and the levels of specimen irradiation and moisture saturation tested. The samples were P75-S pitch graphite fiber/CE339, T300 graphite fiber/934, GY70 graphite fiber/X-30, and Kevlar 49 Aramid/5209 composites
