reveals a typical crystalline structure with limited porosity and combines well with the …

Ablation of needled carbon/carbon (C/C) composite nozzle-throats was studied by hot-fire
testing in a small solid rocket motor. The composition of the combustion gases was …

The modelling of ablation of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites utilized as rocket engine hot
parts is addressed under the angle of the competition between bulk transport of reactants …

The effect of ZrSi 2 on the thermal degradation behavior of phenolic and the role of ZrSi 2 on
the ablation resistance of carbon–phenolic (C–Ph) composites are investigated by …

The ablation characteristics of 2.5 D SiC/SiC composites under ultra-high temperatures were
studied using an oxy-acetylene torch flame. The results showed that the ablation region …

The ablation properties and thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon fiber
(CF)/phenolic composites were evaluated for different filler types and structures. It was found …
