Abstract
The article examines the thermal insulation characteristics of materials used in solid-fuel rocket engines manufactured in the United States, France, Italy, Japan, and other developed nations. The internal surfaces of combustion chambers in these rocket engines are subject to significant stress under thermo-mechanical loading conditions, necessitating specialized protection. The authors identify four categories of reinforced elastomeric materials that most effectively meet stringent requirements. Due to their adaptability, these materials may serve as versatile heat insulators and may be employed in a variety of high-temperature and corrosive surroundings.
