Radiation Damage of Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Composite Materials at Low Temperatures

  • Chapter
Materials

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 38))

Abstract

Radiation damage of glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRPs) has been examined in terms of interlaminar shear strength in order to develop radiation-resistant composites. The GFRPs, containing different types and amounts of glass, were irradiated at Kyoto University Reactor below 20 K and tested at liquid-nitrogen temperature before warming to room temperature. The effect of the matrix material was also examined. After interlaminar shear tests, the specimens were examined by SEM. We found that small amounts of boron in the glass fibers significantly degraded the interlaminar shear strength in the thermal neutron environment.
