Materials of Interest - TEEK-H Polyimide-Foam/Aerogel Composites for Thermal Insulation

Polyimide-Foam/Aerogel Composites

for Thermal Insulation




Composites of specific types of polymer

foams and aerogel particles or blankets

have been proposed to obtain thermal

insulation performance superior to those

of the neat polyimide foams.



These composites have potential to also

provide enhanced properties for vibration

dampening or acoustic attenuation.



The specific type of polymer foam is

denoted "TEEK-H,"… Continue

Materials of Interest - NASA Langley's TEEK Foam - stable from from -423 to +482 °F

Keeping Cool in Extreme Heat



A new foam knows how to keep its cool

even under extreme high temperatures.



NASA's Langley Research Center needed

a lightweight foam that could retain its

structural integrity under temperatures

ranging from -423 to +482 °F, for its

second-generation Reusable Launch

Vehicles (RLV).



Langley's RLV airframe design required

new insulation material for the fuel tanks,

which are exposed to… Continue

Materials of Interest - RP46 Polyimide

RP46 PERFORMANCE



With a continuous operating temperature range

from -150ºF to +675ºF and the ability to

withstand super-hot spikes up to +1,500ºF,

RP46 is ideal for many aerospace applications

requiring BOTH weight reduction AND high

performance.



RP46 exhibits high mechanical strength and

structural durability at elevated temperatures.



It also features significantly less moisture

absorption and is therefore less… Continue
