Abstract
Microchannel plates for spaceborne detectors need to be firmly gripped to s urvive vibration environments. A variety of materials commonly employed in the fabrication of microchannel plate retaining structures were studied. We present data on the frictional properties of microchannel plates and these materials to guide detector developers in choosing the proper gripping for ce for a given detector mass and peak acceleration.
