PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND SEMI-ANNUAL 125A RADIATION EFFECTS SYMPOSIUM, OCTOBER 22-23, 1957

Technical Report · Fri Oct 31 04:00:00 EST 1958

OSTI ID:4313685

Papers are presented covering the effects of radiation on polymeric materials, fuels, and lubricants. Topics covered include the effects of radiation on metalloorganic polymers; the mechanlsm of radiation damage to elastomers; the effects of radiation on reinforced plastics and structural adhesives; the engineering evaluation of radiation effects on organic materials; post irradiation changes in silicone rubber; radiation effects on plastics; a review of the program for the development of nuclear radiation resistant fluids and lubricants, with emphasis on turbine engine lubricants and jet fuels; variation of results of dynamically and statically irradiated aircraft fluids; the dynamic effects of radiation on hydrocarbon fluids under thermal, oxidative, and mechanical stress; the effects of radiation of fluorocarbons and related substances; the development of radiation resistant high temperature lubricants; and the behavior of fuels and lubricants in dynamic test equipment operating in a radiation environment.
