This first peer reviewed Journal of the NATO Science and Technology Organization, devoted to the topic of the Graphene research and development applications in defence, is a small sample of the intellectual strength and knowledge drawn from the NATO Collaborative S&T community. That community has been active and developing within NATO for more than 70 years, supporting NATO and the Nations in the field of Defence and Security R&D.

Modern defense applications require a new class of lightweight materials that offer high performance and multi functionality. Graphene- Polymer Matrix Composites (G-PMCs) are promising structural materials due to the exceptional properties of graphene and are poised to replace heavier, traditional materials in a broad array of applications.

Most in-service missiles have solid propellant rocket motors, the major component being the energetic propellant cast in an insulant-lined combustion chamber. The insulant is typically a solid-filled polymer that is thermally sacrificed during motor combustion. The reactivity of some propellant ingredients with typical rubber formulation components can limit insulant formulation.
