ABSTRACT:
Rocket motor insulation compositions are provided. An important component of such insulation compositions is a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer. Such a polymer provides an ablative insulation which has good performance characteristics during operation of the rocket motor. One such thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer is a wholly aromatic polyester known as VECTRA.RTM.. The insulation may also include fillers such as fibrous fillers and particulate fillers. Typical fibrous fillers include glass or carbon fibers. Typical particulate fillers include materials such as silica, alumina, powdered coal, and the like.
