Abstract Ultra-High-Temperature Ceramic (UHTC) materials, because of their high
temperature resistance, are suitable as thermal protection systems for re-entry vehicles or …

The reentry conditions endured by a vehicle entering the atmosphere from an Earth orbit or
from an interplanetary trajectory are the most critical phases for materials used as Thermal …

Abstract HfC-TaC/HfC-SiC alternate coatings with different sublayer thicknesses were
fabricated on SiC-coated carbon/carbon composites by supersonic atmosphere plasma …

Carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide-hafnium carbide (C/SiC-HfC) composite was
prepared by precursor infiltration and pyrolysis process. Then, ablation behavior of C/SiC …

The ablation behavior is crucial to the application of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide
(C/SiC) composites in thermal protection systems of spacecraft to enter the atmosphere or to …

Various thermal protection materials exhibit obviously different and complicated thermal
response, oxidation and ablation behavior, which are very important for the appropriate …

In order to satisfy the requirements for the thermal protection system to serve at ultrahigh
temperatures, carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide-hafnium carbide (C/SiC-HfC) …

Three-dimensional C f/SiC-ZrC-ZrB 2 composites were fabricated by a joint process of sol-
