Notes:
A determination of the performance indices of ablative plastics is indeed a formidable task because of the severity of the high-temperature test environment, nonstandard test methods, limitations of available evaluation facilities and the complex interrelationship between materials performance and environmental parameters. In spite of these difficulties, considerable progress has been made in establishing new test methods for evaluating very high-temperature (ablative) plastics. This article describes the test facilities and measurement techniques available for obtaining research and design data on ablative plastics.
