Abstract
The rate of ablation is calculated for the case of combined erosion and volatilization due to depolymerization. The parameters of the medium are separated from the properties of the polymer and combined in two complexes whose influence is illustrated by means of nomograms for polymethyl methacrylate. The conclusions are confirmed by the results of tests employing a hypersonic rarefied argon plasma jet.
