Examination of gas desorption by B4C resin for use in neutron scattering experiment

Rev Sci Instrum. 2011 Sep;82(9):095109. doi: 10.1063/1.3635538.

Abstract

Gas desorption rates for several types of B(4)C resins were investigated using a throughput method. The investigation was particularly focused on determining the out gas composition, effects of dry air, grain size (density) effects on the gas desorption rates. It is found that water is the main component of out gas and that dry air can effectively reduce gas desorption.
