IDENTIFICATION OF VOLATILE CONTAMINANTS OF SPACE CABIN MATERIALS
Abstract
Fifty-three candidate materials for space cabin construction were tested to establish volatile gas-off and oxidation products. The preliminary screening by measuring weight loss was to determine those materials which exhibit weight losses between 0.001% and 1.0%, exclusive of water. Materials falling within this range were studied further in storage tests to determine the nature of the individual components evolved from the candidate material. Those materials falling outside this range were conditionally excluded from further tests. Weight loss data, thermogravimetric curves, gas chromatograms of volatile contaminants, and the nature and quantities of individual components evolved from the candidate materials are reported.
