Addressing the challenge of high-energy particle radiation damaging electronic equipment in deep space, materials scientists today announced the development of a new type of phenyl silicone putty. Through unique molecular chain structure design, this material significantly enhances shielding capabilities against gamma rays and cosmic radiation while maintaining exceptional buffering and insulation properties in vacuum and extreme cold. Tests show that sensors encapsulated with this putty exhibit a service life extended by over 40% compared to traditional products when exposed to simulated radiation environments of Mars and the asteroid belt. Furthermore,配套 hydride and vinyl fluorosilicone oils, used as modifiers, further optimize adhesion strength between the material and complex substrates. This breakthrough is regarded as a key technical support for 2026 deep space missions, set to be widely applied in protecting core components of next-generation satellites, extravehicular space station equipment, and interstellar probes.
