Abstract
This article reviews work on the temperature dependence of electron radiation damage in organic materials using the electron diffraction method to monitor the destruction of crystalline order. It is clear from work on crystalline 1-valine, polyethylene and paraffin that radiation resistance improves by a factor of about four when the temperature is lowered from room temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature. At lower temperatures there is no apparent improvement.
