Abstract
A new radiation-resistant epoxy resin system was developed that has low viscosity and long working time at 45 °C. The system consists of triglycidyl-p-aminophenol (TGPAP) epoxide, isopropylidenebisphenol bis[(2-glycidyloxy-3-n-butoxy)-1-propylether] (IPBE) epoxide and diethyl toluene diamine (DETD). Boron-free glass fiber composites of epoxy resin with different ratio of TGPAP/IPBE/DETD were prepared by vacuum press impregnation. The ratio of TGPAP/IPBE affected the working time and the viscosity at the impregnation. The mechanical properties of the composites at 300 K and at 77 K were measured before and after 60Co γ-ray irradiation of 1 MGy at ambient temperature. The γ-ray radiation scarcely affected the properties of the composites.
