Effects of Proton Irradiation on the Mechanical and Physical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Based Composites

In this study, the effects of proton irradiation on carbon nanotube (CNT)-epoxy composites are investigated for potential applications in radiation shielding for spacecraft. CNT-epoxy composites were prepared using multiwall and single wall CNTs and exposed to proton beams of energies ranging from...
