Study of Carbon Aerogel Composites for Thermal Protection Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Carbon aerogel composites have been prepared by condensation polymerization and high temperature pyrolysis. The morphology of carbon aerogel is characterized by SEM. The pore structure is characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption technique. The thermal insulation properties of carbon aerogel composites are tested. Carbon aerogel composites show good thermal insulation and high temperature resistance in inert atmosphere The results show that they are suitable for applications in aerospace thermal protection industry.
