Carbon/Carbons and their Industrial Applications
The requirements for higher mechanical properties at high temperatures from Air Force and NASA research programs resulted in the reinforcement of carbon and the development of carbon/carbons. Three types of matrix systems are used for the industrial manufacturing processes for carbon/carbons: thermosetting resins, thermoplastic precursors, and gas‐phase‐derived carbons or ceramics. Recently, the mechanical properties of carbon/carbons have found to be profoundly affected by their fiber/matrix interfacial properties. The chapter deals with such recent progress regarding the strengths of carbon/carbons, including studies of their tensile, shear, compressive, and fatigue strengths. Thermal properties of C/C composites, such as the thermal conductivity and thermal coefficient expansion, are very important characteristics for the main applications of these materials, such as brakes, re‐entry shields, rocket nozzles, first wall tokamaks, and heat exchangers. Oxidation protection of carbon/carbon has to be applied for all materials which are used in an oxidative atmosphere above 420°C.
