In this study, an ablation, mechanical and thermal properties of a rocket motor insulation from phenolic\/ fiber matrix composites forming a laminate with different fiber between fiberglass and locally available synthetic fibers. The phenolic\/ fiber matrix composites was mechanics and thermal properties by means of tensile strength, ablation, TGA and DSC. The design of thermal insulation involves several factors.Determined the mechanical properties according to MIL-I-24768: Density >1.3 g\/cm3, Tensile strength >103 MPa and Ablation <0.14 mm\/s to optimization formulation of phenolic binder, fiber glass reinforcement and other ingredients were conducted after that the insulation prototype was formed and cured. It was found that the density of phenolic\/fiberglass composites and phenolic\/ synthetic fiber composite was 1.66 and 1.41 g\/cm3 respectively. The ablative of phenolic\/fiberglass composites and phenolic\/ synthetic fiber composite was 0.13 and 0.06 mm\/s respectively.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] NASA space vehicle design criteria (Chemical propulsion) (1975).
