Rubber materials are greatly affected by irradiation and are prone to failure in the fields of nuclear,aerospace and other fields involving high-energy particle irradiation.It is necessary to further study the irradiation aging of rubber materials to improve the irradiation resistance of rubber materials.The research progress of irradiation aging of rubber materials at home and abroad was reviewed from three aspects,including the influencing factors of irradiation aging of rubber materials,the effects of irradiation on the properties of rubber materials and the methods to improve the irradiation resistance of rubber materials.It was pointed out that there are two main deficiencies in the study of irradiation aging of rubber materials.On the one hand,the research on the factors affecting irradiation aging is still in the stage of single factor research,and the research on the effects of multi-factor synergy on materials is less.On the other hand,there is little research on improving the irradiation resistance of rubber materials from the molecular structure.It is suggested that the future research on the irradiation aging of rubber materials should be carried out more from the perspective of the synergy of multiple factors and the irradiation resistant materials with new molecular structure.
