High-energy radiation-resistant vulcanizates. II. EPDM

In this article, Part II of the series, we report a detail study on stabilization of EPDM vulcanizates in γ‐radiation environment. The special additives (antirads), namely pyrene (Py), brominated acenaphthene (BrAc), poly(acenaphthene sulfide) (PAcSu) and poly(pyrene sulfide) (PPySu) were used for t...

Description
Summary:In this article, Part II of the series, we report a detail study on stabilization of EPDM vulcanizates in γ‐radiation environment. The special additives (antirads), namely pyrene (Py), brominated acenaphthene (BrAc), poly(acenaphthene sulfide) (PAcSu) and poly(pyrene sulfide) (PPySu) were used for the stabilization studies. The efficiency of these antirads for EPDM had been monitored by the means of electrical resistivity, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, and mechanical properties. The stabilization of EPDM to withstand 200 Mrads of γ radiation in air environment is achieved. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
