Description
An organic olefin-based thermosetting dicyclopentadiene (DCP) resin is commercially available in Japan as TELENE® from RIMTEC Corporation, and its viscosity is less than one-tenth that of the CTD-101K® epoxy resin. In previous studies, the TELENE® can withstand greater strain than CTD-101K® and can achieve higher heat capacity when mixed with ceramic powders from a previous study. The use of TELENE® as an impregnation resin is expected to reduce the number of quench training for Nb3Sn magnets. In this study, the TELENE® resin was subjected to gamma-ray irradiation experiments exceeding 15 MGy under vacuum atmosphere. The gamma-ray irradiation experiment was carried out at room temperature using a Cobalt-60 source at the Takasaki Advanced Radiation Research Institute, Japan. The flexural properties of the TELENE® were measured by three-point bending tests and compared to those of the CTD-101K®.
