ABLATION OF PLASTICS,
Abstract
This report is a comprehensive presentation of the inter-disciplinary subject of materialsABLATION, PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO THERMALLY PROTECTIVE PLASTICS AND COMPOSITES. It treats in detail many aspects of plastic ablation, such as materials requirements, historical development, unique materials advantages and limitations, basic insights into the ablation phenomenon, a simplified theory, materials performance criteria, evaluation techniques, material-environment interactions, thermo-structural design, and typical applications. The objective is to aid in converting the art of plastic ablation into an organized engineering science. It is intended that the basic information presented will provide a basis for accelerated advancement in this new materials engineering field. (Author)
