Abstract
A study is made of mechanical relaxation mechanisms and the correlation between parameters characterizing the temperature dependence of internal friction and shear modulus when the mechanical and electrical properties of glass-textolites of grades ST-11 and ST-ETF are altered by exposure to different doses of high-energy electrons. High-temperature α- and α′-transformation are observed, these transformations being due to the unfreezing of segmental mobility in the polymer matrix and the boundary layers at the surfaces of the glass fibers under the influence of the radiation. A discussion is presented of features of radiation-induced degradation processes in the polymer binder and at points where it contacts the filler. The data that is obtained shows that glass-texolites ST-ETF and ST-11 are highly resistant to radiation.
