METHODS OF FORMING FLEXIBLE STRUCTURES FOR ROCKET MOTOR ASSEMBLY, RELATED FLEXIBLE STRUCTURES, AND RELATED ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING FLEXIBLE STRUCTURES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide flexible structures (e.g., flexible seals) having material compositions and properties capable of meeting the needs of a wide variety of rocket motor assemblies, and methods of forming such flexible structures.SOLUTION: A method of forming a flexible structure for a rocket motor assembly comprises: forming a polysiloxane composition comprising at least two different silicone materials; forming a preliminary structure from the polysiloxane composition; and curing the preliminary structure to crosslink at least a portion of different polysiloxane chains of the preliminary structure.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
