what are the materials used in rockets?
236272
For the main frame most rockets use aerospace grade aluminum or titanium since both metals are very strong but light weight. Future rocket designs are even looking into using carbon composite structures.

Early balloons were made of silk. At the time silk was expensive and difficult to repair, so alternative materials were needed. Today modern fabrics such as Nylon, Tyvek, and Nomex are used for hot air balloons construction.

We still use gunpowder today in grenades, rockets, guns etc. Usually, gunpowder is used for military purposes to defend our country. It is a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate (saltpetre)—with the sulfur and charcoal acting as fuels, while the saltpeter works as an oxidizer.

The term “plastics” includes materials composed of various elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and sulfur. Plastics typically have high molecular weight, meaning each molecule can have thousands of atoms bound together.

Test tubes,intended for general chemical work, are usually made of glass, for its relative resistance to heat. Tubes made from expansion-resistant glasses, mostly borosilicate glass (or fused quartz) can withstand high temperatures, up to several hundred degrees Celsius.
