Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Carbon Composites: Processing, Room Temperature Properties, and Expansion Behaviour at Low Temperatures

  • Chapter
Nonmetallic Materials and Composites at Low Temperatures

Part of the book series: Cryogenic Materials Series ((CRYMS))

Abstract

The idea of carbon-fibre-reinforced carbon (C/C) composites was born in the beginning of the last decade. Due to the outstanding physical and chemical properties of carbon, such as high heat of ablation, thermal shock resistance, strength improvement at high temperatures and chemical inertness, C/C composites are used as a high performance material for ablation and high temperature application in sophisticated engineering.
