Abstract
Carbon-phenolic composite materials can withstand very high temperatures and thermal fluxes. They are commonly used to line the throat and exit cone of solid rocket motors (SRMs). As hot gases from the SRM impinge on the carbon-phenolic, it slowly chars and erodes. The char protects the material beneath it from the thermal flux.
