3‐MeV proton beam irradiation studies have been carried out on a commercial aromatic polysulfone (Udell 1700). Physical and mechanical property changes have been monitored as a function of dose. Chemical and spectroscopic analyses have also been performed on the irradiated samples. Results have been compared to those from previous studies with electrons and γ‐radiation. A mechanism of proton‐induced degradation is proposed.
