Ultra High Temperature Composites For Thermal Protection Systems

The objective of this proposed project is to develop a low-cost nanostructured hybrid composites TPS. The proposed new TPS system will consist of porous skeleton based on polymer derived ceramic (PDC) matrix composites and nano-modified ablator (nano-modified phenolic or cyanate ester). Extensive ground-based testing on the composites TPS will be conducted at UCF and FSU FCAAP.
