The demands to lower the cost and increase the reliability of solid rocket propulsion systems have forced the aerospace industry to investigate new materials and fabrication techniques. The performance specifications for stiffness, strength, and temperature resistance make the process of finding better materials and processes quite challenging. Advanced structural plastics, such as liquid crystalline polymers, may meet these requirements. The suitability of advanced polymers to meet the cost/performance/reliability requirements was investigated. Components identified for polymer application include motor cases, igniter housings, and nozzles. An overview of progress to date is presented.
