UV RESPONSE OF MATERIALS WITH DIFFERENT IRRADIATION CONDITIONS AT THE SEMIRAMIS FACILITY OF ONERA-DESP

摘要

This paper reports on data obtained with different UV exposure configurations at SEMIRAMIS i.e. focusing on the effect of acceleration factor and spectrum range. A large set of materials have been tested such as paints, silicone resins, polymers and inorganic materials. The comparison of standard/new configurations data allows for illustrating the influence of various parameters including temperature, annealing and sample environment (nitrogen versus vacuum). Globally, the importance of ensuring the fidelity of the simulated solar UV spectrum is highlighted.
