The present work involves the investigation of coupling effects of gamma irradiation and
absorbed moisture on silicone foam. Compression stress-strain test, creep test, differential …

The widespread and advanced application of polymers outshines the current ability to
theoretically predict their radiation deterioration without much prior knowledge. This work …

Abstract The SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) facility, currently under
development at Legnaro National Laboratories of INFN, aims at the production of intense …

The degradation behaviors, mechanisms and compatibility are not well understood and hard
to be harnessed for EPDM composite in the coupled gamma radiation-thermal …

Many of the moving components in accelerator and target environments require lubrication.
Lubricants in such environments are exposed to high fluxes of secondary radiation, which …

Successful operation of the accelerator complex at CERN relies on Beam Intercepting
Devices (BIDs) which are exposed to high doses of radiation and severely restricted …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) as a kind of functional material have attracted great
attention in aerospace field. High temperature resistant, high mechanical strength and space …

Gamma irradiation has emerged as a promising technique for tailoring the microstructures
and, by extension, properties of nanoparticles embedded polymer composites. Despite …
