Compounding of Phosphazenes for Military Applications

Abstract

Polyphosphazene work at NRDEC is reviewed in the light of the need for end items with resistance to flame and thermal hazards, low temperature flexibility, and resistance to petroleum solvents. The polyphosphazene polymers have been introduced into two end items, which are essentially gaskets. These items are discussed but, in general, emphasis is which are essentially gaskets. These items are discussed but, in general, emphasis is placed on attempts by the Natick RD&E Center to utilize the polymer for wider applications.
