Research on ultrahigh-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) for hypersonic and space vehicle applications is gaining increased attention and funding. This CTT summarizes an open-access review paper on the measurement and enhancement of UHTCs coatings for radiation-cooled thermal protective systems.
Read MoreUltrahigh-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a promising class of materials for next-generation aerospace technologies. Several ACerS members just published a review paper on UHTCs, describing their properties and overviewing traditional and novel manufacturing methods to synthesis these emerging materials.
