    Understanding the effect of radiation on the functional properties of epoxy resins is crucial for their application in future particle accelerators like the Future Circular Collider (FCC). We compare the irradiation induced aging rates of six epoxy resin systems that can be used for the vacuum impregnation of magnet coils. Aging is assessed based on Dynamical Mechanical Analysis (DMA), 3-point bending and outgassing tests. DMA storage and loss moduli evolutions reveal the effect of the competing influence of cross-linking and chain scission on the glass transition temperature ( T g ). The same proton and gamma irradiation dose has a similar effect on the thermomechanical epoxy resin properties. Aging rates differ strongly for the different resins, and the fastest aging is observed for the MY750 resin system, which T g decreases with a rate of about minus 9 °C/MGy.
