Abstract
This paper reviews some of the literature relating to radiation damage in composite materials and relates the results to the chemical struct ure of the matrix resin. A mechanism of radiation damage at low temper atures is outlined, and those structural features that contribute to r adiation stability are defined. The effect of structure on radiation-i nduced gas evolution rates is discussed and the results of experiments designed to measure the influence of composition on gas evolution rat es at 4 K are presented.
