Effect of radiation on creep of microplastic made from high-strength aramid fibres
Summary
Researchers demonstrated that microplastic composites made from high-strength aramid (Rusar) fibres exhibit elevated resistance to ionizing radiation even under simultaneous mechanical loading, attributed to the high polymer fiber orientation suppressing radiation-induced chemical degradation.
The elevated radiation resistance of a microplastic based on Rusar fibres even in combined exposure to ionizing radiation and mechanical loading was demonstrated. This is probably due to the high degree of orientation of the polymer fibres, so that radiation chemical decomposition reactions are suppressed and the purely thermal effect of the radiation is experimentally recorded.
