摘要

The aluminized Teflon~(~R) fluorinated ethylene propylene outermost layer of the multilayer insulation blankets on the Hubble Space Telescope has become embrittled, resulting in severe on-orbit cracking. During the second servicing mission, a piece of aluminized fluorinated ethylene propylene was retrieved. This cracked piece of insulation had curled on-orbit, exposing the backsurface aluminum to space. This extremely embrittled piece reached 200℃ on orbit, 150℃ higher than the nominal temperature extreme. Therefore, experiments have been conducted to determine the effect of heating on the degradation of fluorinated ethylene propylene that has been irradiated in a ground laboratory facility or in space on the Hubble Space Telescope. Samples of pristine, x-ray irradiated and Hubble Space Telescope retrieved fluorinated ethylene propylene were heat treated from 50 to 200℃ at 25℃ intervals in a high vacuum facility and tensile tested. Density measurements were also obtained. Results indicate that heating does not embrittle nonirradiated Teflon. However, there is a significant dependence of the embrit-tlement of irradiated Teflon on heating temperature, with near complete loss of elongation at 100℃ and higher. Rate of degradation changes, which were consistent with the glass transition temperature for fluorinated ethylene propylene, were present in the data. The results support chain scission as the primary mechanism of degradation of fluorinated ethylene propylene on the Hubble Space Telescope and indicate the significance of the on-orbit temperature of fluorinated ethylene propylene with respect to its degradation in the space environment.
