Detrimental outgassing occurs due to the radiolitic and thermal degradation of Materials 2. The specific degradation pathway is yet unknown but thought to involve the formation of long lived radical species in addition to stable products. The task in this project is to use a combination of NMR and EPR spectroscopic methods to identify the major degradation products. The end goal is to develop reaction pathways that better inform models of outgassing from Material 2.
