High-Temperature Composites

The focus on high-temperature composites involves the development of advanced materials designed to perform under extreme conditions, particularly in high-stress and high-temperature environments. This includes creating durable composites for aerospace applications, such as refractory materials for heat-resistant components, carbon-carbon composites for high-performance engines, and carbon/silicon carbide composites for critical space mission components. These innovations are essential for ensuring the reliability and efficiency of systems operating under intense thermal and mechanical stresses.
