Protective Coatings for Aircraft Composites in Nuclear Environments

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA074889 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This program selected and experimentally evaluated several classes of protective coatings for nuclear flash for application on graphite epoxy and quartz polyimide composite aircraft skins. An analyticalexperimental assessment was also performed to demonstrate the increased tensile capability of the two composite materials with the application of selected coatings. Author
