Abstract The development of deep space exploration and manned technology has led to an increasing demand for radiation-resistant materials, making the development of effective anti-radiation materials crucial. This article reviews the various types of space radiation-resistant materials and their radiation shielding mechanisms, as well as the relationship between material radiation resistance and internal composition, providing the new ideas for the selection and application of novel radiation-resistant materials with good radiation protection performance, high attenuation coefficients, thin thickness, and low density in spacecrafts.
