There's always a magnetic nozzle.Never let complexity scare you. I want to see if AI can build a jacketed thrust design where a cooler outer exhaust ring protects a much hotter exhaust-thrust core.
FOOF? MURI?True, but I was thinking for chemical reactions like an all-exhaust combustion chamber for dicyanoacetylene and FOOF. The nozzle is channel-wall, but the exhaust of a more modest reaction is between that and the hotter reaction at the core. There is a new heat-proof chaotic carbide that could stir molten steel-from Duke's MURI program under Stefano Curtarolo and Arrigo Calzolari's work on high entropy materials and plasmonics. Use as injectors for an all chemical NSWR type deal.
FOOF - Dioxygen Difluoride.FOOF? MURI?
If you can magnetise the propellant somehow, a magnetic nozzle could still work.
