Abstract
Various carbon fibers with different microstructures were irradiated in the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR). Tensile tests were conducted and the microstructures were also examined before and after neutron irradiation. Clear correlations between the tensile properties and the microstructures were found before and after irradiation.
The data obtained here will be useful for the development of C/C composite materials that have higher resistanceto radiation damage.
