Vacuum outgassing rates have been measured on several plastics and epoxies, some of which were filled with inorganic materials. The materials examined were chosen as possible candidates for the manufacture of vacuum insulators for large accelerators where good vacuum is a necessity. Generally, all the materials had similar vacuum outgassing rates so that in most applications, the choice of the material would be made after thorough examination and comparison of all the material properties including mechanical strength, ease of manufacture, and electrical breakdown strength in vacuum.
