Abstract

The change in the physical and mechanical characteristics of thiokol sealants under the influence of micromycetes isolated in the tropical climate of the Republic of Cuba and micromycetes used as test cultures according to GOST (State Standard) 9.049–91 was studied. A slight deterioration in some characteristics of sealants after testing for fungal resistance was observed, which depended more on the conditions of the tests than on the species composition of the microbial cultures used.
