Abstract :
Synthetic elastomeric materials, when used in systems that must operate in radiation fields, frequently comprise the weakest link for materials. The results of a comprehensive tabulation of mechanical response data are summarized in graphical form useful to designers. General information on elastomers is given along with electrical, outgassing and thermal response data.
