Thermal and radiation resistance

In general, there is a paucity of information on the relationship between polymer structure and degradation kinetics. This becomes especially critical in multiphase polymers like heterophasic copolymers, thermoplastic elastomers and blends. This review should stimulate research in this important area, which could ultimately lead to polymers with better photo-thermal and radiation resistance as well as more effective stabilizers. 

The one perspective field of researches for a probe nanotechnology is a development of carbon-based electronic elements. Carbon has found wide application in electronics and nuclear technology because of high thermal and radiation resistance. The methods of conventional planar microelectronics can be combined with probe technology for production of totally integrated carbon devices. 

Pis These materials are well known for their very high thermal and radiation resistance. They can be expected to withstand radiation doses of about 1000 Mrad at high temperatures (260°C). (General radiation resistance excellent.)...
