Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the field of aerospace, extreme-high-temperature environments pose a challenge to the design of aircraft. Advanced thermal protection systems are key to ensuring the safe flight of aircraft, in which lightweight thermal insulation materials (porosity ceramics, fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites, etc.) are an important component of thermal protection systems. Their installation and fixation usually require connections between superalloys, and the connection of dissimilar components is a key issue. High-temperature-resistant adhesives and thermal-radiation-resistant coatings are required during assembly. In some inflammable parts, fire-proof coatings and fire-extinguishing agents need to be added.
This Special Issue, entitled “High Temperature-Resistant Ceramics and Composites”, will address the preparation, characterization, and applications of advanced ceramics, composites, adhesives and coatings when utilized in extreme heats (in the range of ＞1000°C. Special emphasis will be placed on the mechanical properties (specific strength), temperature/fire/radiation resistance, thermal properties (thermal stability, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion) composition and structural evolution of materials. Toughening is also essential to enhancing the properties of extreme high-temperature materials, and the in situ growing of nano/micro phases is a low-cost, controllable and efficient toughening method. This Special Issue thus also welcomes manuscripts that focus on in situ toughening, especially the analysis of in situ growth and strengthening mechanisms. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Ceramics and composites for extreme environmental applications;
- Porosity ceramics/composites;
- Fiber-reinforced ceramic-based composites;
- High-temperature-resistant adhesives;
- Thermal radiation-resistant coating;
- Flame retardant coating, foam glasses;
- Nano/micro phases in situ growth for reinforcement;
- The connection between ceramics and superalloys.
