  2. Neoprene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoprene

    As neoprene is used to make electric cable jackets in nuclear power plants, the effect of gamma radiation on the mechanical properties of neoprene has also been investigated. Chain scission, possibly triggered by free radicals from irradiated oxygen, is seen to deteriorate the mechanical properties of neoprene. [ 15 ]

  3. Radiation-absorbent material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation-absorbent_material

    In materials science, radiation-absorbent material (RAM) is a material which has been specially designed and shaped to absorb incident RF radiation (also known as non-ionising radiation), as effectively as possible, from as many incident directions as possible. The more effective the RAM, the lower the resulting level of reflected RF

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Micrometeoroid_Garment

    Cross-section of layers in space suit construction. An (Integrated) Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (TMG or ITMG) is the outer layer of a space suit.The TMG has three functions: to insulate the suit occupant and prevent heat loss, to shield the occupant from harmful solar radiation, and to protect the astronaut from micrometeoroids and other orbital debris, which could puncture the suit and ...

  5. Chloroprene - Wikipedia

    Radiation damage is the effect of ionizing radiation on physical objects including non-living structural materials. It can be either detrimental or beneficial for materials. It can be either detrimental or beneficial for materials.

  7. Shape-memory polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape-memory_polymer

    Mnemosynation was named for the Greek goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, and is the controlled imparting of memory on an amorphous thermoplastic materials utilizing radiation-induced covalent crosslinking, much like vulcanization imparts recoverable elastomeric behavior on rubbers using sulfur crosslinks.
