This bibliography contains citations concerning thermoplastic and thermosetting resins used for space environments. Among the properties examined for selected polymers are ultraviolet-light sensitivity, radiation resistivity, sensitivity to extreme temperatures, adhesion qualities, strength, and insulation value. Fiber-reinforced plastics, nylon, vinyl, cellular plastics, epoxy resin, PTFE, and elastomers are among the polymers and adhesive resins described with reference to manufacturers, tradenames, marketing trends, performance results, and specific applications. (This updated bibliography contains 368 citations, 76 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
