Irradiation damage effects of the epoxy resin 648 and epoxy nano‐composites were studied by exposing them to vacuum ultraviolet irradiation (VUV) with wavelength varying from 5 nm to 200 nm. Experimental results obtained from mass loss, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X‐ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) show that nano‐ TiO 2 particles provide better resistance performance. Epoxy nano‐composite was found to be more advantageous over epoxy resin due to significant lower mass loss, lower flexural strength variation and the lower outgassing, with less gas component varieties after irradiation. In addition, now new carbon peaks were found and the principle components of the O ls peak did not change.
