Description of Aerospace Industry Requirements of Aerospace Industry The Advantages of Using Polymers Resin Types of Polymers For Composite

Materials and Fiber Reinforced Polymers Various Kind of Polymers Used In Aerospace Smart Polymers For Aerospace Applications

Word Definition Of Aerospace The athmosphere of Earth and surrounding Space Aerospace Industry Includes Civillian And Military Aircraft, Space Vehicles Missiles

High thermal and mechanical stability Inherent flame resistant Low degree of thermal expansion High chemical resistance even at raised temperature Low level of outgassing in vacuum Good electrical insulation

Polymer materials provide lightweight constructions Hence saving of fuel and money Polymers do not corrode High degree of freedom in design Excellent chemical ,thermal and impact resistance Low Flammability

1)

Epoxy resins
Epoxy is used as a structural matrix material which is then reinforced by fiber for aerospace industry.

2)

Polyesters
Unsaturated polyesters are common in the usage of aircraft interior panels

3)

Polyamides
Polyamides are used for making parachutes and other items needed by the military.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

Components: Resins,fibres,
fillers,additives and adhesives
Carbon/graphite fibers are the most common in Aerospace.

Properties of CFP; good modulus at high temperatures Excellent stiffness, inertness (chemical-moisture) Usage areas of fibers body panels ,airfoil panels and flaps planes (carbon fiber) vertical stabilizer (Aramide fiber and epoxy) floor plate (Carbon reinforced polyeterimide)

Polyamideimide (PAI) -Amorphous ,high thermal stability ,

-Good wear and radiation resistance, -Inherently low flammability and smoke emission, -The highest strength of any unreinforced thermoplastic.

Polyamide-imides are produced by Solvay Advanced Polymers under the trademark Torlon. It is used in Aircraft hardware and fasteners.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) -Colourless, thermoplastic,

- Electrical performance, - Durability, flame retardant properties, - Low smoke and toxicity, - Chemical and ozone resistance, - Thermal properties and impact resistance.

The worlds leading manufacturer of VICTREX PEEK polymer aircraft components including wing, engine and fuel systems.

Polyphenylsulphone (PPSU)

Outstanding impact resistance Resistance to hydrolysis Transparent grade available Excellent thermal stability Combustion resistance without additives Inherently flame retardant

Radel R polyphenylsulfone resin which is mostly used in aircraft interior parts.

- Fluoropolymers Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) - Semi-crystalline, Semi-opaque and white,

- outstanding chemical resistance , - very high oxygen index , - very low coefficient of friction, - stable to high temperatures. Aerospace applications of PTFE ;

PTFE based composites bonded to metal substrate, PTFE improves ice-shedding characteristics of helicopter rotor blades Aerospace dry bearing applications, It has longer shelf life in vacuum than others .

Fluoroelastomers
-

Wide chemical resistance Superior performance, especially in high temperature applications

Viton fluoroelastomer is the most specified fluoroelastomer produced by DuPont.

Viton are routinely used in commercial and military aircraft turbine engines, auxiliary power units and hydraulic actuators

SMART MATERIALS IN AEROSPACE INDUSTRY

Conducting Polymer

Coating fuselage

Polyaniline is one type of conducting polymer that using for corrosion protection.
-

Fuel cell

It is used for the shuttle on-board power system and support of the space exploration initiative in spaceship industry
