Low Energy Proton Effects on Solar Absorptance of Thermal Control Coatings Feng Weiquan~1 Wang Rong~2 Ding Yigang~1 Zeng Yibing~3 Liu Yuming~1 (1 Beijing Institute of Satellite Environment Engineering,Beijing 100029) (2 Institute of Low Energy Nuclear Physics,Beijing Normal University,Beijing 100875) (3 Beijing Institute of Astronautics Material and Craft,Beijing 100076) 2007, 27 (06):  42-47.  Abstract ( 2241 )   Save The low energy proton in space radiation environment results in solar absorptance increase of external thermal control coatings since low-energy proton deposits all its energy at surface.The experiments of low proton irradiation test was performed for six types of thermal control coating as S781 organic white paints,SR107-ZK organic white paints,ACR-1 organic white paints,OSR second-surface mirror,F46 second-surface mirror,and Kapton second-surface mirror. The 48keV proton irradiates theses samples for about 360 hours under vacuum condition, accumulated flux to 2×10~(15) p/cm~2.The in-situ measurements for solar absorptance were carried out during irradiation.All six thermal control coatings increase in different extent.The organic white paints are the highest one.Two polymer film second-surface mirrors are the second.The OSR sec- ond-surface mirrors is the best stable in solar absorptance.SEM and XPS analysis shows that the structure of ZnO pigments,polymerized film and bond are degraded during irradiation of low- energy protons,making high reflective pigment and transparent polymer dark and opaque,causing increases of solar absorptance of thermal control coatings.
