MATERIALS SYMPOSIUM, 13-15 SEPTEMBER 1961, PHOENIX, ARIZONA
Abstract
State-of-the-art technology on high performance materials being studied for aerospace and military weapon system applications is reviewed in fifty four Conference papers. Of these, seventeen are of direct interest to Plastec. The topics covered include inorganic (refractories, ceramics and metal allys), organic (polymers), and fiber (metal fiber, fiberglass, and graphite fiber) reinforced ceramic and organic matrix composites. The space environment effects (solar, gamma, UV, IR and thermal radiation) on the mechanical, physical and optical properties of these materials were studied, and coatings for controlling the effects are discussed. (LS-PL).
