Abstract
Composite samples of graphite fibers in both an epoxy matrix and a polyimide matrix have been prepared with different fiber arrangements and irradiated with 0.5-MeV electrons up to 104 Mrad. Interlaminar shear strengths decreases significantly with radiation dosage while little change was observed in the flexural strengths and moduli. The results indicate that radiation causes significant degradation at the interface but not much change in the fiber or matrix.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
