Reinforced polyimide structures are described. Reinforcing materials are impregnated with a suspension of polyimide prepolymer and bonded together by heat and pressure to form a cured, hard-reinforced, polyimide structure.
High molecular weight polyimide resins have greater than 20 percent /by weight/ solubility in polar organic solvents. They permit fabrication into films, fibers, coatings, reinforced composite, and adhesive product forms. Characterization properties for one typical polyimide resin are given.
Technique for manufacture of graphite composites uses high-char-forming processable polyimide resin systems to produce the graphitic matrix. Only three cyclic steps are required to yield a 99.7 percent graphite product.
Principle heat absorption of silica-reinforced plastic ablative materials occurs from the in-depth reaction of silica with carbon to form silicon monoxide and carbon monoxide. The higher the degree of completion of this reaction, the higher the capacity of the ablative material to absorb heat.
Ablative resins used for retarding regression in ablative material
Synthesis of Pyrrone laminates from sulfone dianhydride
Additive-type polymerization reaction forms thermally stable polyimide polymers, thereby eliminating the volatile matter attendant with the condensation reaction. It is based on the utilization of reactive alicyclic rings positioned on the ends of polyimide prepolymers having relatively low molecular weights.
Resin systems for matrix material in ablative composite for liquid rocket combustion chambers using fluorine-containing propellants
Chemical compositions, propellant permeability, and mechanical properties of storable propellant bladder materials based on polymeric chemical structure
New class of thermosetting plastics has high hydrocarbon content, high stiffness, thermal stability, humidity resistance, and workability in the precured state. It is designated cyclized polydiene urethane, and is applicable as matrices to prepare chemically stable ablative materials for rocket nose cones of nozzles.
Preparation, and evaluation of polyimide sulfone resins, graphite-silica reinforced polyamide resins, and resin resistance to FLOX- methane, and fluorine-hydrogen fuels
Resin systems investigated for improving ablative materials for use with fluorine-containing liquid propellant systems
