New trends in the circular economy and sustainability are pointing towards the gradual elimination of standard flame retardants such as phosphorus compounds or halogenated compounds. New solutions are therefore being sought in this area and ceramizable composites could be an interesting alternative. Weak rheological properties are one of the main disadvantages of ceramizable composites. This study tested ceramizable composites composed of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) as a polymer matrix and mica as a mineral filler and aimed to improve the viscoelastic properties of silicone oil as a plasticizer. To characterize this composite's mechanical properties before and after ceramization, the viscoelastic properties were tested with a dynamic oscillating rheometer and the thermal behavior with a cone calorimeter. This paper also provides results showing differences (via the abovementioned properties) between vulcanization with sulfur and that with peroxide for the ceramizable composites based on SBR. The presented results, showing changes in mechanical properties, dynamic viscosity or flammability, among others, allow a better understanding of elastomeric composites with ceramizable flame-retardant systems. Such composites can find a wide range of applications, from lagging for electrical cables to building elements such as floor coverings and fire barriers.

In this study, a heat-resistant adhesive was prepared using molybdenum-phenolic (Mo-PF) resin as the matrix and TiB particle as the ceramizable filler for bonding AlO ceramic substrates. Firstly, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was used to characterize the chemical structure of the Mo-PF. Subsequently, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and shear strength testing were employed to investigate the effects of heat treatment in different atmospheres on the thermal stability and residual bonding properties of the adhesive.

Conventional carbon fiber felt-reinforced aerogel composites are often used as lightweight thermal protection systems (TPSs) for aerospace craft. However, due to their poor oxidation resistance, they have gradually failed to handle increasingly harsh thermal environments. In this work, a nanoscale composite coating interface of SiC-ZrC ceramic precursor is first constructed on the fiber surface.

Hypersonic vehicles encounter hostile service environments of thermal/mechanical/chemical coupling, so thermal protection materials are crucial and essential. Ceramizable composites have recently attracted intensive interest due to their ability to provide large-area thermal protection for hypersonic vehicles. In this work, a novel ceramizable composite of quartz fiber/benzoxazine resin modified with fused SiO and h-BN was fabricated using a prepreg compression molding technique.

Carbon fiber fabric-reinforced phenolic resin composites are widely used as thermal protection materials for thermal protection systems in hypersonic vehicles and capsules. In this work, carbon fiber fabric-reinforced boron phenolic resin composites modified with MoSi and BC were prepared via a compression molding technique. The high-temperature performance of the composites as well as the oxidation behavior of the carbon fibers was studied.
