High Performance Plastics for Spacecraft Applications
This webinar provides an overview of plastic material selection and plastic part design for spacecraft applications. A number of spacecraft applications are discussed including bearings, spline couplings, locking fasteners, lens retaining rings, thermal and electrical insulators, and antenna radomes.
Webinar Topics Include:
- Plastics for high performance spacecraft valves
- Polymers suitable for use in vacuum, cryogenic, and high temperature environments
- Plastics with superior sliding wear performance
- Flammability/oxygen compatibility properties of plastics
- Plastics that resist degradation from chemicals including exposure to atomic oxygen
- Encapsulants for thermal management
