Lexan Fabrication

The major areas of activity consisted of fabrication studies to develop techniques for cost-effective production of FEP Teflon and Lexan, optimization studies to determine optimum cell size and geometry for Mylar, FEP Teflon, and Lexan honeycombs, studies to develop a mechanically stable FEP Teflon glazing, work to develop a combined FEP Teflon honeycomb and glazing system, working with key manufacturers to develop fabrication techniques, and thermal analyses to support all areas of activity.^An analysis was completed to predict the performance of honeycomb collectors equipped with plastic glazings.^Work was initiated on studies to define a method for thermally protecting the low-temperature plastic honeycombs when subjected to stagnation (i.e., no flow) conditions.^The test program planned for test and evaluation of full-scale collectors equipped with the candidate honeycombs is summarized.^Results of laboratory studies to investigate alternate methods for fabrication of plastic honeycombs are described, and a list of manufacturers cooperating on the program is presented.^(WHK).
