• Low earth orbit space environment simulation and its effects on graphite/epoxy composites (2006, background): “Orbiting the Earth’s atmosphere, spacecraft is exposed to the UV radiation, energy which is enough to break molecular bonds in polymer such as C-C, C-O and functional group, build volatile fragments, and alter materials properties of polymer by scissioning or crosslinking [3].”
