New Ablative Plastics and Composites, Their Formulation and Processing. Part 3

Abstract

Precise processing techniques were used in preparing new ablative plastics and composites. This research involved the use of novel heat resistant resins such as; a bisbenzimidazobenzophenanthroline; branched, crosslinked polyphenylenes; a chrome based metal phenolic; a PBI-carborane; phenyl aldehydes; poly(a,a' - diphenyl-xylyidines); a polysminoborane; a polyimidazopyrrolone; polyimides; polyphenylene sulfides a poly(perfluorophene); and a tungsten based metal organic phenolic. Novel materials used as reinforcements included boron nitride fibers; a high modulus carbon yarn; high modulus graphite fabric and yarns; and silicon carbide whiskers. Resin impregnation techniques used in preparing research specimens included spatula or brush coating, dip coating, soaking, and dry powder layup.
