Carbon–carbon composites (CCCs) are a unique form of carbon fiber-reinforced materials
that exhibit excellent thermomechanical properties under extreme environmental conditions …

Many engineering applications involve reacting porous materials submitted to high
temperatures. This work presents a detailed but pragmatic heat and mass transfer model for …

Spacecrafts such as Stardust (NASA, 2006) are protected by an ablative Thermal Protection
System (TPS) for their hypersonic atmospheric entry. A new generation of TPS material …

Ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites (UHTCMCs) have been produced using a
radio frequency assisted chemical vapour infiltration (RF-CVI) process. The composites …

This paper addresses the possibility of improving and controlling the temperature profile of a
Ceramic Matrix Composite preform in a multiport Microwave-assisted Chemical Vapor …

Based on multi-step reaction and deposition models including the hydrogen inhibition model

The ablative resistance composites with gradient structures are potentially applied to the
protection on the outer wall of a solid rocket engine nozzle. We successfully prepared the …

Chemical liquid vapor deposition (CLVD) process has got much attention because of its high
efficiency and flexibility, but almost no reports are available in the fields of C/C-UHTCs …

Chemical vapor infiltration has been almost exclusively developed for the preparation of
matrices in fiber-reinforced CMCs and C/C composites. Modeling of this process is …

Raw and partially infiltrated carbon–carbon composite preforms have been scanned by high-
resolution synchrotron radiation x-ray computerized microtomography. Three-dimensional …
