| Description | Polymeric materials in low earth orbit will be exposed to a harmful environment mainly due to atomic oxygen and ultraviolet radiation. In geosynchronous earth orbit, the major hazards to such materials are energetic charged particles and ultraviolet radiation. The progress of studies on the effects of these hazards on a polyetherimide, a polyimide, and an epoxy adhesive is presented. |
