High Temperature Elastomers for Aerospace and Defence Environments

An elastomer is a polymer containing viscosity, elasticity and is characterized with features like weak force within the molecules and high failure strain in comparison to other materials. The monomers which link to a polymer is generally a fusion of various elements namely, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and silicon. Elastomers are nebulous polymers maintained above the temperature of their glass transition and are used in seals, adhesives and molded flexible parts. These elastomers are used widely in the aerospace and defense market and are commonly termed as aerospace and defence elastomers.

The lightweight and reduced size recorder developed by Honeywell International Inc. also helps in improving the aircraft operations. In addition, the implementation of 90 days underwater locator beacon is also set to increase the demand for aerospace data recorders in the future.On the other hand, national defense forces around the world are strengthening their troops to face any situation. Similarly, the unit is also carrying out modernization practices for advanced technology aircraft to equip them with advanced systems and technologies. 

One of the most prominent factors in driving the growth of aerospace and defense elastomers is the increment in the demand for aerospace and defence elastomers in developing economies like India and China. The demand in these economies is mainly in the aviation industry. In addition to this, increase in the demand for new aircrafts from emerging economies has also boosted the market. Despite the fruitful growth, the fact that the aerospace industry is cyclic with each cycle getting repeated after ten long years, makes the market vulnerable to the dynamic global situation. This has an adverse impact on the development of aerospace and defence elastomers market. Technological advancement in the aeronautics, mainly their designs coupled with increments in defence spending will inevitably foster the growth of the market in the near future.

 Modernization of military aircraft includes upgrades or modifications of data recorders and voice recorders to facilitate the collection of aircraft-related information and in the event of aircraft accidents
