Fabrication, thermal analysis, and heavy ion irradiation resistance of epoxy matrix nanocomposites loaded with silane-functionalized ceria nanoparticles

Abstract

This paper describes a detailed understanding of how nanofillers function as radiation barriers within the polymer matrix, and how their effectiveness is impacted by factors such as composition, size, loading,...

Innovative Materials Based on Epoxy Resin for Use as Seat Elements in Bulk Transport

“…During operation, these materials may be exposed to various environmental factors (solar radiation, elevated temperature, and many others) [32]. For example, epoxy resin composites are commonly used in the aerospace industry where they are exposed to high-energy gamma radiation [33]. Therefore, it is important to design the products so that they are safe and non-defective throughout their lifetime.…”

Investigation of the I–V characteristics of n+/n homojunctions introduced by heavy ion irradiation in CdZnTe crystals

“…In recent years, an increasing number of researchers have paid attention to heavy ion irradiation. [9][10][11] The interaction between low-energy heavy ions and CdZnTe crystals can modulate their electrical properties and surface structure. For example, O. Šik et al 12 passivated CdZnTe at a low dose of a 5 keV argon ion beam to reduce leakage current, and the best leakage current reduction effect was achieved at a dose of 1.4 × 10 16 n cm −2 .…”

Resistance of Graphene/Epoxy Resin—Based Composite Materials to γ Radiation Damage and Their Mechanical Properties

“…In space environments, materials inevitably face exposure to high-energy γ radiation. For polymer matrix materials such as epoxy resin formed through crosslinking reactions, the free radicals produced by highenergy particle irradiation can cause molecular chain breakage or crosslinking [1,2]. At low doses (1-500 kGy) of γ radiation, crosslinking reactions typically outweigh chain scission reactions in polymers.…”
