AbstractIrradiation damage effects of the epoxy resin 648 and epoxy nano-composites are studied by means of simulating the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation whose wavelength ranges from 5 to 200nm. Experimental results of the mass loss, SEM and XPS show that nano-TiO2 particles exhibit better resistance performance under VUV. Comparing with epoxy resin, the epoxy nano-composite brings significantly less mass loss, slighter flexural strength variation and decreasing gas extraction with less gas component varieties after irradiation. What is more, no new carbon peak-value has been found and principle components of peak-value remain unchanged on the surface.
