Why is it important?

The comparison between modified PR and traditional PR was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the ablative measurements on laminate specimens were tested using oxyacetylene flame testing. The results showed that the modified PR composites significantly enhanced ablation resistance.
