Radiation stability of silicon-organic varnish modified with nanoparticles

Abstract An effect of SiO 2 nanoparticles modification on spectra and integral absorption coefficient of silicon-organic varnish KO-859 before and after 30 keV electron and 100 keV proton exposure has been investigated. An increase in reflectance in UV, visible, and near-IR ranges and radiation stability of varnish modified with nanoparticles in comparison to unmodified have been established.
