Chemical processes will be developed to examine the feasibility of the production of fluoroalkoxyphosphazene elastomers for use in hydraulic seal applications. The program is a collaboration between Phosphazene Custom Synthesis (PCS) and The Pennsylvania State University to establish the chemistry and engineering needed to optimize the properties and scale-up the preparation of these elastomers.
Benefits: The elastomers are expected to be superior to other materials for hydraulic applications. The work should initiate the commercial develpment of these elastomers in hydraulic, aerospace, and other applications.
