The Application of Engineering Plastics in High-Reliability Electrical Interconnect Systems
Overview Imagine the space shuttle lifting off in an explosion of cryogenic fuel from its external tank and solid rocket boosters, climbing across the sky, entering space at hypersonic speed and then returning to earth through the scorching friction of earth's atmosphere. You would have to think long and hard to imagine a more severe testing ground for engineering materials. And if someday the space shuttle was strong enough and light enough to power itself into orbit under its own store of fuels, the miracle will be made possible through the innovative use of lightweight plastic materials known as composite thermoplastics. This paper explores the expanding role of these materials in today's high performance air, sea, and space ships.
